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!

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.

I love wearing this with a crisp white shirt. I get so many compliments. It works well as a shirt or light jacket.
- EWElaine W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoTanzanite color batik print
Is it blue? Is it purple? It’s a little of both - I liken it to the shade of tanzanite gemstones. I don’t own a batik shirt yet so I purchased this one hoping I’d love it. I tried it on at the store and at home but it didn’t call me enough to keep it. I ended up exchanging it for a Zuri dress which I always wear more than the shirts. For shirts I wear a sz L for less pulling across the shoulders and more hip/butt coverage.
The batik fabrics always feel slightly rougher/more textured against my skin but this one is on the softer side.

This is my 4th garment from Zuri. I love the beautiful color and print. The shorter length is so versatile; it can be a shirt or a jacket. Recently I was reading an email from Zuri that explains the construction process. I was happy to see that the fabric is prewashed, so that there is no shrinking. This is how I sew for myself. Please keep bringing us more beautiful fabrics. Zuri garments make me feel happy. Please keep up the good work!
