Why SOKO Kenya Should Be Your Next Fashion Manufacturing Partner
Africa is often underestimated as a manufacturing hub for the international fashion industry, but at SOKO Kenya, we’re here to change that perception. We offer fashion brands a unique opportunity to partner with an established and experienced manufacturer that delivers high-quality clothing with a story that is produced responsibly.
Here’s Why SOKO Kenya is the Ideal Partner:
Reliability, Transparency, and Craftsmanship
At SOKO Kenya, we pride ourselves on offering brands not only reliability but also full transparency in our operations. Our skilled workforce delivers exceptional craftsmanship, ensuring that every garment we produce meets the highest standards. We believe in creating beautiful, lasting clothing that not only showcases our skilled workforce but also embodies our commitment to ethical production and community upliftment.
Capable of Large-Scale Production with Unmatched Quality
Many assume that SOKO Kenya is limited to small, artisanal orders, but we’re equipped to handle much more. With a dedicated team of 150 skilled professionals and a spacious, well-equipped factory, we’re fully capable of producing beautiful, lasting clothing at scale. Our capacity allows us to efficiently manage bulk production while maintaining the highest standards of quality and ethical practices.
Trade Benefits for the U.S. UK and EUROPE
Situated in an import/export zone, SOKO Kenya offers strategic advantages for global trade. For U.S. brands, we provide duty-free access to the U.S. market through the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
Additionally, our trade agreements with the UK and Europe offer significant benefits: Post-Brexit, the UK’s trade agreements with Kenya often include reduced or eliminated tariffs on specific goods. In Europe, Kenya benefits from the EU’s Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), which typically offer duty-free or reduced-tariff access for various products.
Access to Unique Local Materials and Techniques
SOKO Kenya provides access to a rich variety of local handwoven fabrics, crochet, and other traditional techniques that add unique value to every piece. We also have an in-house hand embroidery team that brings intricate, personalized details to our garments. Additionally, we partner with local mills offering digital printing services with no minimum order, allowing brands to experiment and innovate without constraints.
Sustainability and Ethical Practices
Sustainability and ethical practices are at the heart of what we do at SOKO Kenya. Our commitment to responsible production extends to our community initiatives, such as our Stitching Academy, which equips young people with essential skills to gain employment, and the Kujuwa Initiative, which addresses period poverty using fabric offcuts to create washable sanitary pads.
Positive Community Impact
When you work with SOKO Kenya, you’re not just partnering with a manufacturer, you’re joining a community. Your partnership helps create jobs, provide training, and uplift our local communities. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of our workers and their families.
