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.

    Edgy Sophistication

    I had not considered black and white Zuris - being a color lover - till I spotted Megabyte on a colleague. Suddenly I was fascinated by the combination of restrained color palette and cool jazziness of this design. I think I will wear it mostly as a duster with colored tops, shoes, and jewelry for more "lively" ensembles, and stay with the black and white tonality for the edgier look. As other Zuristas have noted, the diagonal flow of the pattern on the body of the dress and the vertical placement on the sleeves and closure panel add visual interest. The fabric is not soft, per se, but more "transparent" than other Zuris I have, which will make it perfect for Los Angeles living. Fun play ahead in and with this lovely addition to my collection.

    Intriguing!

    I love the circles in this pattern. They are more of a khaki color vs white, which makes this dress unique. It has a mod feel.

    Megabyte. Mega-awesome.

    So that caption is not my best work, but this dress is pretty fabulous. It might be a little bit more understated in the prints, but I lean towards the geometric graphics more than the florals and I think this one delivers the statement the geo prints go for. It’s a bit stiffer than some of the other dresses and it is a cream, not a white. But I literally throw this on and over pretty much anything and it gives a real dramatic pop to what I was wearing. And I do mean I’ve thrown it over everything — from leggings and sweatpants to jeans or a jumpsuit.
