Our story

Two friends and one clever fan.

Elizabeth Lategan, co-founder of Skoert

Elizabeth Lategan

Skoert Products was founded in 2019 by Elizabeth Lategan and Barbara van Zyl, inspired by a shared passion for practical, eco-conscious products for South African homes. It began with the Skoert Vlieg, which quickly became popular for its clever design and everyday usefulness.

  1. 2019 The Skoert Vlieg fly repellent fan launches as the first product.
  2. 2020 Elizabeth leads Skoert into its next chapter, with the rechargeable Vlieg, the Muskiet range, and homeware: placemats and the French rolling pin.
  3. Today Practical products, custom branding for schools and teams, the Travel Bingo book and DASH the Meerkat.

The kitchen

For whoever does the cooking.

A French rolling pin that is heavy in the right way, and aprons for the person at the stove or the fire.

“This is the most gorgeous rolling pin. Large, sleek, quite heavy, and with a very hygienic design, so you don’t have to worry about dough stuck in any nooks & crannies.”

DASH & the Travel Bingo book

Meet DASH!

Screen-free road trips for families who travel South Africa. A bilingual bingo book with 54+ games across all nine provinces, a meerkat to ride along, and a t-shirt for every province.

How DASH came to be

While doing schoolwork with her kids, Elizabeth realised children don’t really know South Africa’s provinces anymore. And we all know how often they complain about being bored on long trips.

What began as a simple Excel list of Kruger National Park animals turned into hours of fun, and grew into this book, with the help of her children.

Eward (12), our car enthusiast, designed the car-bingo games. Willem (10), a rugby fan, suggested the car-rugby rules and the car-cricket scorecard. Elfriede (8) dreamed up a travel companion, and so DASH the meerkat was born. It was Eward’s idea to kit him out in colourful shirts, each matching the colour of a province.
