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!

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.

    Pretty!

    This is one of my more subdued Zuris, but I love it. It’ll definitely fit the bill for when I don’t want to stand out quite as much. Soft colors. Note the background is a very dark green rather than black. So pretty!

    Magic Time in a Dress

    I have always treasured daybreak, whether I was returning home in a taxi after a long night of intoxicating romance, waking up ever so slightly, only to cuddle down in my duvet to enjoy another hours rest before my day began or finding the slow transition of the sky's light to be so relaxing as I fed one of my babies. This dress perfectly captures the comforting nuances and magic of this special time of day.

    Rock and roll

    I go between a small and medium and got a medium for this one. The colors remind me of 80s acid rock so makes me feel like a rockstar!

    Let it Shine Shine Shine!

    Never ever thought I would wear green, but Daybreak is WOW! The very subtle dark green was a pleasant surprise (with thanks to the wonderful Inja). And, of course, there is purple. LOVE this dress. Cue Barry Manilow every time: “Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe, And let it shine, shine, shine All around the world.”
