We work with an incredible network of fabric vendors in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi to source textiles. Over the years and many hundreds of prints, we've learned a lot about how to select fabrics. We truly have these women to thank for sharing their knowledge and trust, and in doing so, creating such a mutually supportive experience. Learn more about our process and our vendors here!

    Spring Kick-off

    The spring equinox is for me a mixed bag. It's the anniversary of my sister, but she wouldn't want me to mope. She once gave me a book of her favorite quotes, written in her beautiful hand, and this was one she chose: “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." --Alice Walker, from THE COLOR PURPLE. Light Year is a funky mix of crocus, daffodil, and will to live. Can you think of a better dress than Light Year to commemorate both my sister and the start of spring?

    Beautiful dress.

    I really liked this dress & apparently so did lots of other people. I love the print, modern yet unusual, a bit of a change from my usual dresses with large flowers. Very clean lines & super comfortable to wear. We’ve been going through a heat wave & I was still comfortable in this sleeved dress. I literally stalked the website for a few months till one in my size popped up! 😍

    It’s a bold one!

    A bold print. Still love it in theory but did feel it overwhelmed me. To be fair, I order a size up bc it was the only choice in stock, and the extra fabric didn’t help matters.

    Who knew??

    I had been admiring Zuri dresses for many months, then took the plunge in the 'Surprise Me' sale. This was the result and I love it. I was indeed surprised as I don't think I had even seen this pattern on the Zuri site and wasn't sure how it would work for me, as I don't normally (ever) wear yellow. I have fair skin, blue eyes and greying light brown hair and this dress works. It's perfect for throwing on when you don't know what else to wear and I get many comments. I will definitely do the Surprise Me sale again!

    Stunning Surprise!

    I ordered two dresses during this year's Black Friday Surprise Sale, and this was one of the items that arrived at my doorstep! I had noticed this dress online, but thought that the colors were too bright and found the pattern too busy. I am so happy to say that I was WRONG and that this dress is just PERFECT! I've worn it twice and received nothing but the highest order of compliments. It's an absolutely gorgeous dress, and I am very happy with the selection Zuri staff made for me :)
