KAI | ZURI
(Dar es Salaam)

Sristi Bosco, creative director and founder, brings together her love for hybrid fusions of colors, textiles, detailing, and prints in her work through exploring and contemporizing artisanal techniques from the past for a sustainable future. The freedom to explore and be abstract flows through her passion, involving ideas of creativity and the pursuit of fashion, forming a union of mixed ideas put together creatively as one.

Founded in 2021, Kai | Zuri is an everyday luxury fashion brand that focuses entirely on uplifting handwork techniques from different cultures and places whilst incorporating roots from that of India - a land of diversity. Kai | Zuri signifies the amalgamation of two languages from two different countries, Tamil (India) and Swahili (Tanzania) as follows: “Kai” means “hand” in Tamil and “Zuri” means “beautiful” in Swahili so together it is “Beautiful Hands” as Kai | Zuri celebrates different techniques of handwork ranging from artisans across variant cultures.

Our apparel utility ranges from a casual day out with friends at noon to an extravagant event at night. We promise to make every collection have unique details and textile stories that make them stand out with bounds of elegance, making one feel young, bright, bold, and never old anytime and anywhere!
