SKILA – Millennial Roots

S K I L A is an ethical luxury brand that celebrates timeless elegance through exceptional scarves, entirely hand-woven from noble materials and crafted with ancestral know-how. Born ten years ago from a Heritage and carried today by a contemporary vision, S K I L A embodies a discreet, lasting, and vibrant form of luxury. S K I L A draws its name from the abbreviation of an ancient feminine name — Set El Koll — typically Mahdois, paying homage to the Tunisian woman, to her elegance, and to her essential role in transmitting traditions and the culture of beauty.

S K I L A is also a subtle play on English words, the fruit of a double inspiration: the nobility of S I L K and the timeless mastery of S K I L L. Thus, S K I L A encapsulates the very essence of the brand: the encounter between silk and savoir-faire, between authenticity and modernity, between heritage and creativity.

Mahdia, On the Silk Road

Cradle of Tunisian weaving and craftsmanship, Mahdia embodies the soul of S K I L A. Here, threads come to life in the hands of our artisans, heirs to a know-how passed down through generations. Each scarf is born with patience, precision, and passion — a reflection of a tradition that makes Mahdia far more than a place of creation: a source of inspiration. By building upon this millennial expertise, S K I L A contributes to restoring Mahdia’s former prestige, helping it reemerge as the regional capital of silk weaving.

“Extremely fine and beautiful fabrics are produced there, known as the fabrics of Mahdia, and they have always been widely exported, for these textiles were inimitable in every respect.”

— Testimony of the Famed Geographer Al-Idrissi, Year 1154
