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!
- JHJill H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoCrisp and classic with a playful twist
The background color is a rich navy. And the pattern is both classic and playful. It takes color as an accent—from saturated pastels (see photos) to strong jewel tones (Kelly green, red). Or just wire or black—the basics. It always looks crisp, even after a long flight (or nap)! One of my favorite shirts. The batiks are very special.

One of my favourite poems by Jenny Joseph and Mod About You gives me the chance to start. It is brightening up my winter days.

Really nice print and color. I think I will get a medium next time as the large was a bit big for me.

Whenever I receive my purchase from Zuri, I tear off the packaging with the delight of a child at Christmas. There it is, the intense beautiful colour actually thrills me! I love the depth of the colour, the amazing patterns and prints, and the texture of Zuri clothing. I am a fabric artist and have been for 50 years. I know fabric and I know sewing. Zuri clothing is beautifully sewn. No hanging threads, buttons trying to get away, seams finished perfectly. Yes, my review is over the top, but so are my clothes ! Thanks to Zuri.
