Our Purpose

Coming from a small farm in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, Michele Viljoen grew up around the use of sustainable materials in every day life and understood the importance of and benefits of sheepskin from a young age. Every skin is locally and ethically sourced from farms in the Karoo and all products are handmade by a small family businesses in the Cape and the Karoo. By purchasing any products from Karoo Baba you are not only supporting a local brand, but all of the wonderful people involved in the process. The comfort experience of our products are second to none, and the eco-friendly methods that we use emanate a positive energy that radiates through each and every one of our products.

Because home isn't a place, it's a feeling.

Sustainability

All of our materials are locally and ethically sourced from farms in the Karoo. The sheepskin is a byproduct of mutton farming, so we ensure that these materials don't go to waste! The skins are then tanned and dyed using eco-friendly methods before being transformed into the lovely products that we sell! The organic nature of our materials means that every skin is unique.

Handmade

All of our products are handmade in the Karoo and the Cape by small, family owned businesses. By supporting Karoo Baba you're also supporting all of these small businesses as well! Due to our products being handmade, we are able to ensure outstanding quality throughout our collections.
