WHO WE ARE
Our Story
Life’s journey is a full circle, starting from a seed and growing into a young fruit before eventually reaching the end and leaving only the pip and essence behind. At PIP, we honor this cycle by replanting the pip and providing support to the elderly during this phase of their lives.
PIP was founded in loving memory of my grandmother, who always dressed up for the day and wished for a reason to get out of bed. We strive to give elderly individuals a purpose and the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue activities they love.
All of our knitted and crocheted items are handmade by elderly ladies in the Riebeek West, Gordon’s Bay, Riebeek Kasteel, and Moorreesburg area. These ladies are paid for their work, providing them with much-needed financial support as many rely solely on government pensions or community goodwill.

WHAT WE DO
The PIP brand is committed to supporting its community, particularly its elderly members who rely on government pensions or the goodwill of their neighbours. All PIP items are made by elderly ladies in various areas, who are paid for their work. By providing opportunities for these individuals to use their skills, PIP helps to restore dignity and create much-needed additional sources of income.
Our mission
PIP’s collective mission is to make bespoke, handcrafted designs with social benefits. With a project that has heart, PIP aims to make a positive impact on the community, environment, and the elderly.
