More Than Just A Pretty Dress
DressCodeZanzibar is a social enterprise that offers economic opportunities and training for skilled young seamstresses seeking work in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
As women, we understand the joy of purchasing a new dress to mark the change of season. Now, picture that dress being handmade by a Zanzibari seamstress, where $15 from your purchase goes directly towards supporting her livelihood. Your choice transcends mere buying; it becomes a significant act of empowerment.

Designed primarily for women worldwide, our clothing brand is ethically crafted by women seamstresses in Zanzibar, blending centuries-old African traditions with modern Western fashion. This results in a style that is both timeless and contemporary.
Tanzanians are celebrated for their beautiful and colorful textiles and our products proudly embody this rich heritage.
DressCodeZanzibar incorporates local textiles like the East African Kanga and Kitenge, bringing Swahili culture to a global audience while benefiting the local Tanzanian economy.
The Kanga, worn by Tanzanian women for over a century, showcases vibrant colors and Swahili proverbs (check our gallery for examples). By crafting our products using the Kanga, we are evoking curiosity and fostering conversations about East African culture and creating "Dresses That Speak”.
