At Dugstix, sustainability isn’t just about materials—it’s about people. By partnering with The Sewing Café in Masiphumelele, Cape Town, we help create meaningful employment opportunities while supporting a skills development initiative that empowers local artisans. The Sewing Café is more than just a workshop; it’s a community-driven social enterprise where men and women come together to learn, grow, and refine their craft.

Every Dugstix surf and beach bag is hand-cut, stitched, and finished by skilled artisans who take pride in their work, knowing that each creation contributes to their livelihoods and personal growth. This collaboration not only ensures our products are beautifully made but also fosters economic opportunity in a way that strengthens families and communities.

By choosing Dugstix, you’re not just getting a one-of-a-kind surf accessory—you’re directly supporting a movement that values craftsmanship, sustainability, and positive social impact.
