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 Kenya 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.

We work with an incredible network of fabric vendors in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi to source textiles. Over the years and many hundreds of prints, we've learned a lot about how to select fabrics.

- MMurielVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoSpectacular!
I adore this short sleeved dress so much with its delicate and vibrant color. The fit and feel is perfect, its so comfortable I could sleep in it. I Love how I can dress it up and down. I added some layers like leather pants and my Julahad Bolero for colder weather but I look forward to wearing it this Spring and Summer. Absolute perfection!!!
- LALeigh A. P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoFINALLY!!! PLUS SIZE THAT FITS!!!!!
I’ve been buying Zuri dresses for 8 years now, in spite of the fact that, in my size (btwn 1X-2X) the OG dress doesn’t fit at all. It’s way (way way) too tight in the sleeves, the shoulder seam is too low (too big) but also too tight across the back. I’ve tried expensive tailoring (nope) and ultimately restricted myself to only buying the sleeveless options.
Thankfully I live near a Zuri shop, or I would have never tried the short sleeve style. IT FITS!!! The sleeves are wider, and the shoulder seam is removed entirely, so the dress just fits. No seams in the wrong place, nothing tight and uncomfortable. I’ll finally be able to use a Zuri as a layering piece!!!
I hope Zuri makes this cut in allllll the prints!
