Meet our production partner, SOKO Kenya! Based in Kikambala on the Kenyan coast, they are an ethical manufacturer that truly embraces a fair, kind and transparent work culture. In addition to paying above living wages, SOKO provides employees with paid leave and stipends for family emergencies, free pre-primary childcare for all employees with children from ages 2-4, daily mid-morning tea and midday lunch, and clear, outlined processes for job advancement. These values extend to the workspace itself, which is open, airy and bright. It’s truly a privilege to work with the SOKO team, and we invite you to learn more about the stitching process here!
We're so proud to be working with Edwina and her cooperative of batik dyers in Accra, Ghana, to make these prints! Learn more about these fabrics here!
In order to create a batik fabric, recycled wax is melted and applied to the fabric using a stamped pattern. Edwina carves each stamped design herself in foam, which is easier to repurpose and work with than wood. Together with several women in Accra, Ghana, Edwina and her team always create designs that play on both pattern and layered color in a truly original way. Since we began working together in 2018, we've produced over 40 unique textiles together, keeping them in continuous production since we started. We're so honored to share this collaboration with Edwina and her team!
- EWElaine W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoYay for batik shirts!
Happy to see more batik prints this year and especially in the shirts. I almost always prefer batik shirts over dresses - I get more use out of them year round since they’re easy to layer.
I got to try this shirt over the new batik pants as well - they look good together, but I didn’t purchase the pants. The shirt has a similar deep teal shade but leans more green. The pattern looks a little bit like abstract brtamboo stalks and they’re slightly offset the way the pattern was stamped. I would so wear these two pieces together as loungewear/pajamas if I was feeling fancy. They’re so comfortable. I literally wanted to lie down in them lol!
Looking forward to seeing what other batiks will be released this year. They’re my favorite from Zuri.
- IRInger R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoBeautiful shirt :)
Easy to wear as a shirt or as a jacket with af mathing top. Simple but still complex pattern and the perfekt colour of ocean teal.

I love this shirt. It is softer than my other Zuri shirt. It fits well in the shoulders(I’m an M) and is long enough to cover. Sleeves are perhaps a little short on me but it keeps cuffs out of the way! Extremely good customer service and speedy shipping. 😁
Zuri OU13 seconds agoHi Carolyn!
Thank you so much for your review! We're absolutely thrilled that you're loving the softer fabric and how perfectly it fits in the shoulders! And thank you so much for your feedback regarding the length! I've passed along the feedback to our team so we can keep it mind should we decide to change our pattern <3
In the meantime, thank you for your kind words about our customer service and shipping, and for sharing your lovely experience with Skylight with us! We're so grateful to have you as such a delightful part of our community! <3
Thank you again!
