Made in Kenya

Last weekend I had to chance to go back to my hometown in Northern California for my childhood friend’s wedding. I love going home for the rolling hills and beautiful trails. I was trying to show my husband Josh this amazing rope swing that I used to play on as a child, but sadly it was taken down because the tree passed away. Although we couldn’t capture any moments on the rope swing, the hills still made a great backdrop for this outfit.

I want to introduce you all to this brand I found that is sustainable and ethically made by ASOS and SOKO-Kenya. They have partnered together to bring us “Made in Kenya”, a sustainable, fair trade, ethical line of clothing that is made by locals at the Rukinga Wildlife Sanctuary in Kenya. This particular area of Kenya has a high rate of prostitution, HIV/AIDS and wildlife poaching. SOKO Kenya offers native women an alternative means of making a living through training and employment. These very women made the romper that I am wearing.

By purchasing this romper at a fair price and wearing it, I’m supporting the women on their journey and their decision to pursue an alternate lifestyle. Not only do I love supporting these women, but I love the how trendy this line of clothing is and the colorful fabrics! Check out the rest of the line here, or simply shop the images below.
