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!

Love the pink & red combination it’s so lively & pretty! Already planning to take this one on my vacation
- JBJANIS B.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars1 month agoPretty but stiff
I was hoping that this fabric would be lightweight and soft, but it’s stiffer and rougher than other dresses. Pretty pattern, and good color, but too heavy.
ZZuri4 hours agoHi Janis!
Thank you so much for your review of our Sea ++ dress! I'm so glad to hear that you loved the print and color!
I'm sorry to hear that the feel of the fabric wasn't as expected. We truly really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us!
I've passed along your thoughts about the fabric weight and texture to our team.
In the meantime, if you're looking for something a bit softer, I recommend checking out Hand-loomed in India collection (http://shopzuri.com/collections/hand-loomed-in-india)! Those tend to be our softest ones!
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for being part of our community. If there's anything else I can help with, please feel to let me know!
Much love,
Charlotte from Zuri

I love the print and the fabric is too stiff
ZZuri7 hours agoHi Janet!
Thank you so much for your review of our Sea ++ dress! I'm so glad to hear that you love the print!
I'm sorry to hear it wasn't as soft as expected. The fabric should soften a bit with each wash and wear, kind of like a good pair of jeans. It won't get super soft but it does become noticeably more comfortable over time!!

I am truly shocked that this dress has not sold out. It is a batik with such a lovely shade of red. Such a cheery color and pattern. And that wonderful irregularity of handmade (vs machine printed) fabric.
