Sayarees

“There are as many #WaysToWearSayarees as there are the people they choose, and the way these people choose to wear them, every single time.”

Zawadi Nyong’o

Intentional. Genderless. Versatile. Comfortable. Unique.

ZeroByZawadi “Sayarees” are intentional, versatile, comfortable, and unique limited edition pieces that are made using East African “Kanga” - the world’s most unique and powerful textile that has been used as a tool for communication since the 19th Century. Sayarees are designed for everyone. Each piece carries a different elevating message. They are genderless and can be worn as a jumpsuit, harem pants, yoga pants, high-waisted pants, a bubble-dress/skirt, shorts and more.

They have elastic leg bands which can be adjusted to the desired height. Pick either side to wear in front, and enjoy the different patterns on both sides. Best of all, there's a pocket cleverly tucked into the seam on either side! When it gets cold, you can layer them up with leggings underneath! Wear them up, wear them down, and switch up your looks to suit different occasions with different accessories. “There are as many #WaysToWearSayarees as there are the people they choose, and the way these people choose to wear them, every single time.”

When you wear your Sayarees, you are one of a handful of people in the world who are spreading their elevating messages. Our intention is that the words on your Sayarees will be a reminder to you of the meaning you give them. We also trust that they will spark inspiring and meaningful conversations with the people you share their meaning with. 

Check out our current selection of kangas, and see what words, patterns and colours resonate with you. We make Adult Sayaris from Size S to XXXL, with BB (Big Bust) size options. (See our size chart below)

If you see something that works for you, keep in mind that the same print will never be available again. That’s the thing about kangas - each series is produced only once. We believe that they actually choose their owners. :-)
