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 of this collaboration with Cheikhouna, a master dyer, and his family in Dakar, Senegal to create a collection of hand-dyed textiles using traditional stitch-resist and wax-stamped techniques! Learn more about how these fabrics are made here!
Cheikhouna uses a stitch-resist technique called sitiba, in which the design is hand-stitched into the fabric before dyeing. As you can guess, this is a very time-consuming practice, but the results are stunning! Sitiba is rarely produced anymore not only because of the amount of time it takes, but because of the complexity of the technique. Cheihkouna is one of the last dyers in Dakar who practices this centuries-old technique, and while he trains apprentices, he stitched every piece of fabric for our production himself.
You may be more familiar with wax resist, otherwise known as batik! The natural materials that Cheikhnouna uses to create his dyes make his batiks and sitiba fabrics extra special!

This dress is so pretty! I was fortunate enough to be able to try one. The fabric is light and airy, perfect for warm days. The light portion is not see through, but I did feel more comfortable with a slip. I selected my usual one- dress size and it fits but it is more snug on me in the hips and armpits. Next time I may size up for comfort, but who can resist these beautiful blue art? Not me!

This is my first Maxi length Zuri, and I was skeptical because I’m shorter (5’4”), but the length is quickly growing on me. I like clothing to be roomy and usually order XL in Zuri, but I ordered L because I was afraid XL might be too long. L is still roomy enough for me to move freely all day long as a busy teacher.
I get compliments all day long when I wear this dress, and that’s true of ALL my Zuri dresses. The quality, comfort, convenience of pockets (!!) and ethical process seriously can’t be beat. Love my Zuri dresses!
