Our Story
​
In 2012, our lives were blessed with the arrival of our baby girl, Skye. Early on, she was diagnosed with peri-ventricular leukomalacia (PVL), which has caused her to face challenges with epilepsy and developmental delays. Despite these difficulties, we hold onto our faith in her ultimate healing. Skye has a deep love for knee-high socks, wearing them every day with joy. Inspired by her passion, we decided to create a business around it, giving her a platform to one day work in and enjoy, turning her love for socks into something truly special.

... its just our way of giving back...
1. LUCCA Foundation - a beautiful special needs school based in Ferndale, Johannesburg, South Africa. My daughter, Skye, attends this oasis of love, compassion and genuine kids care facility. It was and has been established for kids with various diagnosis, medical anomalies and learning disabilities. SW Sox raises money and gives away sox & sometimes other merch to this beautiful school - making big waves in the hearts and minds of its pupils.

Mission
At SkellyWags Sox, our mission is to create high-quality, locally-produced socks that not only bring joy to our customers but also support the special needs community. Inspired by our daughter Skye's love for knee-high socks, we are dedicated to giving back by raising funds and donating to the LUCCA Foundation, a school that has been a beacon of hope for children with various challenges. Through our products, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of these children and their families.
Vision
Our vision is to build a sustainable and compassionate business that not only celebrates Skye's passion for socks but also fosters a future where children with special needs are empowered, supported, and cherished. We aspire to create a brand that stands for love, care, and inclusion, while providing a platform for Skye and others like her to thrive in a world that embraces their uniqueness.
