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.

    Another Wonderfully Light-Hearted Fishy Print!

    I love this whimsical fish print! The fabric is on the lighter side of the usually Zuri cotton, and the purple is on the bluer side of purple. For wintertime I’m wearing it with a wool dress and a scarf. In warmer weather I look forward to pairing it with another Zuri underneath! I feel it has many possibilities!

    Beautiful, Deep Purple + Soft Fabric

    Fantail has a beautiful deep purple color (see fabric close up photo) that provides a complimentary background for the pops of color in the fish. The fabric is soft and flowy (not too thin and not too stiff). If you are a fish fan, this is a dress to consider. I'm 5'6" and am wearing an XXS standard length.

    Better than Expected

    Fantail is such a beautiful noun dress that is so much better than I expected! The vibrant color combination is eye-catching with a lovely fish print. My dear daughter-friend, Suba bought this gorgeous dress for my 74th birthday. Since I live in Central Florida, the light cotton fabric is perfect for our year-round tropical temperatures. Recently, I wore Fantail to visit Suba at her new condo in Orlando. My dear daughter-friend-Uber driver Manoushka drove me to Suba's house for a fabulous visit with lots of chatting, chewing and laughing. I'm sure that I'll wear Fantail often, since I love how happy I feel when wearing it.
