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!

I adore this beautiful cotton batik dress! As spring has finally arrived in Melbourne I find myself reaching for it often. The fish add a little whimsy to my day and the blue is so pretty. I receive compliments every time I wear this Zuri dress out, it’s definitely a winner.

Perfect dress for spring or summer. The ocean blue color and the fish print give major beach vibes and a resort feel. This would make a great swimsuit coverup too!
One star less than my usual rating due to the batik fabrics almost always feeling rougher against my skin.
