These textiles are a part of our 100% Made in Kenya collection and were printed in Kenya on Kenyan grown cotton. The print was designed by Shadé Akanbi, who is based in Brooklyn, New York. She also designs exclusive products in collaboration with other artisans, locally and internationally, as well as special mementos collected throughout her travels; curated from local markets to international bazaars.

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 really like the lightweight and breathable feel of Megabyte. With its airy fit and neutral palette and simple design, I will get a lot of wear out of this beauty.

Another beautiful dress in an amazing pattern - lighter fabric than some others but feels soft.
- ARAndrea R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoDon’t sleep on this one!
I love this dress. Super easy to dress up or down. Light, airy fabric, not as heavy as some. I nearly returned it at first, but I’m glad I changed my mind. Another Zuri win!
ZZuri1 month agoLooks so great with the layered skirt and statement necklace Andrea! We're so happy you love it!

Megabyte is one of those special pieces of clothing that is both spot-on au courant and artfully vintage, an added bonus for anyone who wants a versatile wardrobe item. My Great-Grandparents had decorative canvas pillows on their mohair sofa in the nineteen teens that very much resemble Megabyte, as did my twill dungarees in the 1960s and punk accessories (shoes, handbags, boots) in the eighties. The list could go on. I love having a dress that can be styled in a plethora of various looks from times far past to our current trends.
ZZuri1 month agoGreat glasses to pair Yvonne, Megabyte looks great on you! <3

- JWJennifer W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoBlack and ivory for the win
I had been wanting a black and white dress for a while but have missed them. I snagged megabyte and it did not dissapoint. The white is more of an ivory color. The fabric is lighter so that you can wear it in the spring and fall much easier. Love it!
