    Printed batik fabric

    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!

      A Beautiful Gift

      I bought this as a gift for a very dear friend - it's a beautiful dress, with a very artistic vibe. The fabric is a bit softer than others, which makes it fall beautifully. The tones of black and grey are rich and stunning. A winner, through and through.

      A softer and complicated black

      This is the dress you didn’t know you needed. Smart and subtle and a flattering soft black with rich greys. I give it 6 stars for the amazing print and 4 stars for difficulty finding one with a good fit. Thankful for Zuri’s amazing customer service who went to great lengths to find a suitable one!

      Love this dress/duster!

      Such a beautiful design, I've mostly worn it as a duster and get compliments every time I do - feels comfortable with jeans but also dresses up so well. Love it!

      Great color for all ages

      I purchased this Zuri for myself while in NYC, and when I arrived home my 13 y.o. stole it. It's a pattern that appeals to all ages. It's stiff but lays nicely flat. Looks great as a dress or duster with jeans or black leggings. Normally I purchase XS, but lately the shoulders are tight in xs's (I have wide shoulders and am only 5'0"). The small fits myself and 13 y.o. perfect.
