Abstract/Executive Summary
Skitchi is a bag business established in 2024 by five students from De La Salle University-Manila’s Accountancy, Business, and Management strand, namely Kristine Vila, Megan Te, Julianne Briones, Chester Del Rosario, and Spyrus Garcia. Operating under a sole proprietorship, the team shares a unified vision of promoting sustainability through practical, affordable, and stylish canvas bags with patches crafted from “katsa” or recycled sackcloth. In response to the growing issue of fabric waste, Skitchi sources leftover katsa from local stores in Marikina. The bags are produced in Bulacan, with patches sewn by Marikina seamstresses, demonstrating the company’s commitment to sustainable practices and local artisanship. Skitchi aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Sustainable Development Goal 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production, aiming to foster local economic growth while reducing textile waste. Skitchi operates in an oversaturated bag market, with rising eco-friendly products. To stand out, the business emphasizes customizable designs, local sourcing, and sustainability. In January 2025, Skitchi launched its first cream-colored Skitchi bag and is now in the process of expanding its product line while utilizing online and offline marketing to reach a broader audience. The business started with an initial capital of ₱30,000, equally contributed by the founders, and allocated to production, operations, and marketing, with profits to be divided equally among the investors. Skitchi aspires to become a leading brand in sustainable bags by offering products that combine practicality, style, and social responsibility, captured in its tagline “Where sustainability meets individuality.”
