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 of this collaboration with Cheikhouna, a master dyer, and his family in Dakar, Senegal to create a collection of hand-dyed textiles using traditional stitch-resist and wax-stamped techniques! Learn more about how these fabrics are made here!
Cheikhouna uses a stitch-resist technique called sitiba, in which the design is hand-stitched into the fabric before dyeing. As you can guess, this is a very time-consuming practice, but the results are stunning! Sitiba is rarely produced anymore not only because of the amount of time it takes, but because of the complexity of the technique. Cheihkouna is one of the last dyers in Dakar who practices this centuries-old technique, and while he trains apprentices, he stitched every piece of fabric for our production himself.
You may be more familiar with wax resist, otherwise known as batik! The natural materials that Cheikhnouna uses to create his dyes make his batiks and sitiba fabrics extra special!

After receiving the Nova Shirt, I have worn it twice: last week to a business meeting and to a Sunday afternoon lunch. I have received many compliments and people have asked where they could purchase the same top.
The quality of Zuri clothing is exceptional and my closet contains quite a few amazing pieces. These elegant pieces can be dressy or casual and always admired by others.
Definitely looking forward to my next purchase.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Lee

- NHNancy H.Verified BuyerReviewingPeek A Blue ShirtI recommend this productHeight 5'4"Size Purchased SUsual Size XSLength Purchased StandardRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoLove the blue and gold
The pattern is just gorgeous. I paired this with a Murano glass ring and necklace that match the blues (and the right even matches the orange gold) perfectly, with gold earrings and bracelets, navy slacks and navy mock-turtleneck. Easy casual elegance, IMHO. I purchased a size S --I am XS in dresses but the S shirts fit well given than I often wear them over another shirt, and I appreciate the extra inch or two in length this gives me. Zuri comes through again. Thank you Sandra and Ashleigh! Not to mention the women who designed this lovely fabric and made my blouse.

I'm so excited to begin wearing my new Budgie shirt now that we are finally transitioning into fall here in the California desert! This material, woven in India, is a bit more substantial than my Kitenge shirts and dresses but softens up with wear and washing. Like all Zuri clothing this shirt is generously cut, you may want to size down for a more fitted look. I like my shirts loose and flowy. Also, the Budgie travels well with little wrinkling. Best of all, it makes me happy and brings smiles and compliments when out and about!
