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 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!
- EWElaine W.Verified ReviewerRated 5 stars3 months agoLoving the new short sleeved shirt design!
Instant love. Definitely try on before purchasing. Runs slightly roomier than the original long sleeve shirt especially in the shoulders. I tried both the M and L and ended up purchasing the medium because the sleeves didn’t billow out so much. They’re like kimono sleeves - very roomy/airy.
Perfect for warmer days as well as layering over a long sleeved shirt. Like all my Zuri shirts and dresses this will get tons of wear through all seasons of the year.
Thank you Zuri for another great design - looking forward to more prints!
- JSJessica S.Verified BuyerRated 5 stars3 months agoWay cool!
I’ve been wearing my Zuri dresses for years. This is my first shirt purchase and I’m in love! The “jaws” design is so cool, the cut is divine and I feel like a million bucks wearing it! Thanks Zuri - please make more short sleeve designs like this!!
- SKSuzie K.Verified BuyerRated 5 stars4 months agoFun!!
Love the print! I usually wear a small in Zuri dresses and long sleeve shirts but needed an XS because the small was very roomy.

I love my new top, respect the artistry of this, really good work, makes me feel great just to wear a piece of art made by powerful women! I ordered medium as that's usual size but exchanged it for xs, and there's still room.
