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!

I absolutely love my ten mothers shirt! It’s so fun! 😍
- PRPATRICIA R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoMy Favorite Shirt
I love this shirt, it is light and fun. It goes with any outfit-I tend to wear very casual tee shirts and shorts or sweatpants as I am a painter and I can put this shirt over my tee and go out and look dressed up.

I love black & white as my baseline color palette, in fashion, interior decor, paper goods, exterior house trim- it's everywhere around here!! However, as much as I love black & white, it is usually realized in stripes (🖤🤍), dots, plants, skulls or toile. Until I saw Ten Mothers. This shirt gives me a definite mood boost when I wear it, or even see it! I enjoy a bit of edgy and Ten Mothers brings that to my ensemble every time, regardless of the overall vibe of my look.

Sleeves too long! I may cut them off and hem at short-sleeved jacket length and use the cut-off fabric for pockets! Love the Ten Mothers!
