Zuri Boutique

Lamu Opened 8 October 2024

African-designer resortwear inside The Majlis Resort on Manda Island.

Zuri Boutique opened at The Majlis Resort on Manda Island on October 8, 2024, stocking resortwear, kaftans, kimonos and accessories from African designers. It's a proper shop, not a souvenir stall, built with resort guests in mind but open to anyone crossing over from Lamu or Shela.

The pieces lean on Swahili textile traditions read through an international resortwear lens, which matches the Majlis itself: an Italian-owned property built around Swahili architectural forms on the quiet side of the channel.
