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 Lulu Kitololo. A few words from Lulu: "I’m incredibly thrilled to see my work on fabric and for it to be such an intimate part of the lives of those who wear it. I’ve always wanted to explore my work on textiles and I’m excited to be doing this with a brand whose ethos and spirit is so aligned with mine."

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.
- SMSarah M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoA dress to match my earrings!
Silly as it sounds, I searched Zuri online for a dress to match my Matisse-inspired earrings, and voilà! The Cactus Flower dress fit the bill. I love the vibrant colors and lighter weight of the dress. I wore it to the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, where I happened upon a painting that my dress matched! A fellow patron approached me to say that she thought it was staged, lol.

Perfect for desert living! This dress is a great weight. The design is very unique and subdued. I can never get enough green in my wardrobe!

How could I not be happy wearing this? As soon as I tried it on in the San Francisco store, I knew I couldn't leave without it.

This Zuri dress is so fresh and zesty. I just love it. It puts a spring in my step, frankly. And, as with all of my other dresses from this wonderful company, it is beautifully made. Thank you. You do good work in the world, Zuri.

A wonderfully fun, summery dress. This dress can brighten up a cloudy day or camouflage you within summer wildflowers. I love all the greens and blues mixed in with orange, and the shapes and details are just plain awesome. This is my favorite dress for summer adventures. Light and comfy.
