I’ve always wanted to explore my work on textiles and I’m excited to be doing this with a brand whose ethos and spirit is so aligned with mine."

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.

    Pick-me-up Delight

    This was another dress I contemplated, resisted, and then surrendered to thanks to the sale. Perhaps because I am giving it the first wear on an overcast day, it brings special joy, as its color is so vibrant and distinctive. Just glancing down and catching a sight of it brings sunshine to my soul. The fabric feels light and fluid enough (after some air-only tumbling in the dryier with tennis balls - a solution I gleaned from another Zurista). A heppy keeper!

    5'3" Experimenting with Long Length

    I bought this in long and expected to shorten it—but I kind of like the tea length with a belt! I'd never have ordered it like this if the standard weren't sold out.

    As always, the pattern is super fun. I hope Zuri continues to get Lulu Kitololo prints.

    Bonus points for being light and soft.

    One of my favourite happy Zuri’s

    This is so fresh and light, it makes me feel happier to wear it. I bought this a little bigger and in long for ease and comfort - it’s not as fitted and I can move around my classroom with more confidence that I’m not flashing my knickers. Although my husband says they’re fall colours, I see the spring and summer in this dress! In long dresses I fold the cuffs up once btw. The fabric is lighter with a teensy bit of stretch - great for those bloated days 🤦‍♀️
