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.

Since the holidays are upon us, I am showing this lovely purple and green dress with a dyed version of Mix Tape. Both were sent to me by a very kind Zurista, Mariella Wretman, who I had the pleasure of meeting last year. I love everything about this print (perfect for a Pisces!) and would recommend it to anyone. Fantastic Fantail!
- JSJanet S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoAnother 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!
- CBCaroline B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoBeautiful, 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.
- JWJennifer W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoI big fan
Fantail is a gorgeous dress. The purple and 2 different greens play together nicely. The fabric is soft and flowy.
