Meet Skil-Me: Purposeful Products, Handmade with Heart
Skil-Me is a South African brand that celebrates craftsmanship, conscious living, and the
power of women-led entrepreneurship. Each product in the Skil-Me collection is thoughtfully handmade by women who are reclaiming traditional skills to build sustainable futures for themselves and their communities. From beautifully soft Cotton My Kitchen cloths to reusable Zero Waste Bags, gentle Cotton My Body face rounds, scrubs and more—every item is designed to be durable, eco-friendly, and gift worthy. Think stylish, functional alternatives to plastic and synthetic fabrics, made using 100% natural cotton. Skil-Me is an initiative that empowers women who have faced difficult challenges in their lives. Their goal with Truffle Pig Pantry is to provide these women with new skills and support, helping them to break free from their past and create a brighter future for themselves.
Engage. Learn. Protect. Preserving traditional skills such as sewing, crochet, and knitting is a fundamental aspect of our training program because we believe in the importance of keeping these skills alive. By providing women with the opportunity to learn and engage with these traditional skills, we are not only empowering them but also protecting these skills for future generations.
In line with our commitment to sustainability and caring for the environment, we have created a range of eco-friendly products that make great gifts.
Support them by buying their products in our Beaty & Wellness, and our Home & Garden categories.
