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!

I love this dress! I ordered Press Play and Parentheses and I’m so glad I did. This one is my favorite of the two.
- JKJacinta K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoThe batik Zuris are 100% delightful!
Every time I get a new batik Zuri, I kick myself for not buying one in every single pattern. They’re so soft and comfortable, and they hang beautifully. Parentheses is a phenomenal pattern that is versatile and a gorgeous shade of cobalt blue.
