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!

What a fabulous batik. The dress is fashionably forward. It makes me feel confident and ready for the day ahead. This dress will no doubt get heavy rotation.

- WSWendie S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoA dress of many shades
It’s hard to photograph this one — sometimes the ground appears almost black, sometimes dark green, sometimes a teal. But, it is lovely in each and every incarnation. A triumph!
- ZHZuzka H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoBeautiful green and blue toned batik... another instant favourite.
I love the hands-on creative process of batik fabric such as Press Play... this calming triangle shape print in blues and greens is truly inspired... I love the smaller print design, which is suitable for every day wear or it's easily dressed up for a special occasion...
