If you missed us at the Future Fabrics Expo, here are some key takeaways from our stand that highlight how SOKO Kenya is a leading contender for brands looking to shift production to a transparent and responsible partner.

Showcasing Our Sample Collection:

We were excited to showcase our sample collection, a blend of contemporary designs and artisanal craftsmanship, featuring locally hand-woven textiles, intricate hand-embroidery, and bold African prints.

Our factory is equipped with a wide range of machinery, enabling our skilled team to work with jersey and woven materials across a vast range of designs, from menswear to womenswear. We're ready to bring your vision to life with high-quality, sustainable craftsmanship.

Leading in Responsible Production

SOKO Kenya can produce high-quality clothing responsibly, and sustainably, in large bulk quantities, reshaping perceptions of African manufacturing. Powered by 75% solar energy and a zero-waste ethos, we divert 2,500 kilograms of fabric waste from landfills each year, repurposing it into bags and accessories and donating it to our Community Trust Stitching Academy and the Kujuwa Initiative tackling period poverty.

Artisanal Craft Meets Scalable Production

We show that beautifully crafted artisanal designs can work within large-scale production. Our hand-embroidery team, alongside our 150-strong production team, blends artistry and efficiency to create high-quality, unique garments. We offer flexible solutions, including low minimum order quantities (MOQs) and the ability to handle large-scale bulk production.

The U.S. Advantage

Operating in a trade-free zone allows us to offer competitive pricing through duty and VAT exemptions. Thanks to the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), U.S. brands can import from us duty-free, making us an ideal partner for fashion brands seeking responsible production.

Putting People First

At SOKO Kenya, we place people at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that our employees receive fair wages and holistic support for their health, well-being, and financial security. Our commitment goes further, as we invest in skills development, offer in-house training programs, and prioritize career progression and upskilling opportunities for every team member.
