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!
When we say 100% Made in Kenya, we really mean it! Made from cotton grown in western Kenya and designed, printed and stitched outside of Nairobi, it doesn't get more local than this! We’re so proud to be part of an ecosystem supporting and advocating for Kenyan agriculture and manufacturing. Learn more about these fabrics are made here!
The ecosystem for rotary printed fabrics is complex and truly global. While it's rare to see a rotary printed textile produced in a closed-circuit, farm-to-shop supply chain, the fabrics we're producing are verifiably 100% made in Kenya. Not just traceable, but local. Not just identifiable, but ethical and accountable.
Our production impacts hundreds of smallholder farmers and their families each year. It impacts young Kenyan artists whose voices and work may now have a slightly bigger audience (and fan club:) ). It impacts the Kenyan textile manufacturing industry, which for years has been out-competed in the local market by imported fabrics. Finally, it impacts you, because you can know that your dress was made ethically, honestly, and with pride.

I Loved wearing this fun lively wearable piece of Art. I felt so protected with this evil eye iconic symbol known all over the world. This is a Wonderful Lightweight dress that is soft and fits great. To Winterize it I wore a bright shawl which provided a Beautiful contrast!
- YGYoko G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoVery eye catching dress!
This is the dress I really wanted and do not regret getting it. Very eye catching print! LOVE IT! ❤️. If I ever end up with 2nd or even 3rd Eyeconic dresses, I will be happy to dye in different colors.
For size wise, I wear size 14/16 with 38 DD bust. I got size Large standard length which hits my knees (5'3" tall). I like to wear Zuri dresses as duster. The fabric is not heavy or stiff.

I knew I would adore this dress, I just didn't know how much. Since I got it it's become a travel staple — I wear it on the plane with my kids and then throw on a top and tie it into a skirt to go out for dinner. Instant classic, perfect piece, goes with everything but still has tons of punch. Stands up incredibly well to the laundry. No notes, only stars.
- LSLani S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoEyeconic and great!
I wore this dress to a wedding recently and got lots of compliments! I chose to wear it with a Zuri patchwork belt. I look good because I feel good in these dresses! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
- HDHannah D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoA good choice
Some Zuris I buy immediately. Others I wait. This one I waited months on, but happy I got it. It’s just plain fun. The fabric is thinner than several of my other ones so it is a great summer dress when I don’t want sleeveless. I also like that the print is a small African designer. I find these fabrics to feel even more special because.
