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!
When we say 100% Made in Kenya, we really mean it! Made from cotton grown in western Kenya and designed, printed and stitched outside of Nairobi, it doesn't get more local than this! We’re so proud to be part of an ecosystem supporting and advocating for Kenyan agriculture and manufacturing. Learn more about these fabrics are made here!
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.
- STShannon T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoThis dress is mega awesome!
Megabyte is light and airy and also impactful and versatile. From a bubble tea date with your honey to a pedi session with the girls.
- LKLaura K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoLove the fabric texture
This dress has a very nice texture, especially in the heat. I liked the yellowish cream and black pattern and felt professional. The dress is a little bit looser weave than some of the others but for warmer weather and layering I really think it is an extremely nice dress and very suitable for dressing up or down. I especially liked the feel of the fabric after I washed the dress. I am a bit inbetween sizes and went up in this one and am glad I did as I like having the looser fit of a large given it gave nice air flow and will be versatile in winter for layering.
- DDonnaVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoMy Favorite Summer Zuri
Yes the material is somewhat translucent but I love this Zuri dress! It is perfect for the summer or as a jacket in the spring or fall. Everytime I wear this dress, someone stops me to tell me how much they
like this dress.
- KRKim R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoAnother great black and white Zuri
Except for the fact that it’s more cream than white but I like that about this dress. Light weight and classy. I’m going to try wearing it with my white and cream colored summer clothes as well. Different from my other Zuri - it’s got a modernist vibe. I went down a size on this one since I was able to try it on at the store. I’m still going to wear the many Zuris I already own since they look fine - but from now on I know this size fits me even better.
- KKhadijahVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoWear as a jacket
I got this in a 3x instead of my regular 2x and it fits like a light jacket. I don’t mind, though. I wore it to chilly San Francisco for a week of graduation festivities at my daughter’s university and it was a great wear. I love all my Zuris and this is no different.
