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!

When we say 100% Made in Kenya, we really mean it! Made from cotton grown in western Kenya and designed, printed and stitched outside of Nairobi, it doesn't get more local than this! We’re so proud to be part of an ecosystem supporting and advocating for Kenyan agriculture and manufacturing. Learn more about these fabrics are made here!

The ecosystem for rotary printed fabrics is complex and truly global. While it's rare to see a rotary printed textile produced in a closed-circuit, farm-to-shop supply chain, the fabrics we're producing are verifiably 100% made in Kenya. Not just traceable, but local. Not just identifiable, but ethical and accountable.

Our production impacts hundreds of smallholder farmers and their families each year. It impacts young Kenyan artists whose voices and work may now have a slightly bigger audience (and fan club:) ). It impacts the Kenyan textile manufacturing industry, which for years has been out-competed in the local market by imported fabrics. Finally, it impacts you, because you can know that your dress was made ethically, honestly, and with pride.

    Universally gorgeous!

    I waited quite a bit before getting Alpenglow because I was concerned it wouldn’t be great with my skintone. However, I read a couple of online posts that mentioned how it was universally flattering. This couldn’t be more true. It’s the perfect shade of salmon pink, with lavender and a bronze that makes the pattern shimmer. The fabric is lightweight and feels like it will soften over time. It looks great by itself or over jeans as a layering piece. So glad I got it!

    Glowing!!

    I wasn't sure the muted peachy colors were for me but WOW! The fabric is a little lighter. The dress flowed well all evening and of course I had to add my funky flair.

    Alpenglow really glows! Another peachy keen Zuri...

    I love the lighter tips of peach colour in this scallop shell design; truly gives a glow to this print... also, it's an intriguing colour mix of peach, lavender and caramel, which convinced me that I had to get this Zuri... it's a lighter weight fabric perfect for warmer weather and it simply shimmers in the sun and is a lovely hue even indoors.
