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!

Not only is this a comfortable shirt, it easily matches with blue or black jeans. Wore it to church with a yellow turtleneck and blue jeans on a cold day.
- MMMonika M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoJoyful and put together
I LOVE this shirt!! This color blue is deep and bright at the same time. The placement of the squares tumbling down in the front is perfect. When buying this shirt make sure you this placement. This shirt is chic and will make you feel super put together...throw on your favorite jeans and a pop of lipstick and you are good to go!
In regards to sizing it depends, I have size small and mediums in the dresses and shirts. The medium is a tiny bit more of a relaxed fit.
ZZuri1 month agoHi Monika!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're absolutely delighted to hear how much you're loving Musical Squares, and we couldn't agree more about that stunning blue - it really does have that perfect balance of depth and vibrancy! Your description of the tumbling squares design is so spot on, and we love how you've noted the importance of the placement.
We absolutely love your styling suggestion with jeans and a pop of lipstick - it's exactly the kind of easy, put-together look we hope to inspire <3
Thank you again for your lovely review and for sharing your experience with your new top!!
Much love,
Charlotte from Zuri

And some time ago I acquired the perfect earrings that pick up the feel of the pattern and emphasize the stripes. This shirt dresses up or down beautifully!
- MDMelanie D.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars5 months agoGreat for the autumn palette
Love the colours and the pattern placement -- l like to wear it over a tshirt with jeans for a casual, yet put-together look. The drape of the fabric is nice. I usually take a Large in shirts/dresses, but siince the L sleeve length is too short for me, I opted for the XL with a boxier look.
- EWElaine W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoMy favorite shirt, but the pattern placement varies!
Hands down, this is my current favorite shirt that has been released so far in the past 6 months-1year. The colors are perfect and the pattern is whimsical. I did notice when trying on two different shirts in the same size that the pattern varies from looking more horizontal to more vertical. I've included some side by side pictures of the variances - I ended up choosing the one with the more vertical placement.
Like the dresses the shirts are so easy to throw on and look polished. And they do double duty as a jacket as well - I sometimes wear them open over a graphic or striped tee/tank. The fabric on this print is on the softer/drapey end. Not as stiff as some of the other long sleeved shirt fabrics.
I wear a L in the shirts - less pulling across the shoulders and more room/length in the hips. I can pull off wearing a M (the size I wear in the dresses), but the way this shirt is cut, it hangs better on me when I size up. If I really want an oversized fit, I can also go up to an XL, but I would have to fold up the sleeves at least 1-2x.
Included bonus pics of when I wore this shirt while cat-sitting my favorite furbaby Miyo!
