Whispr presents itself as an activist fashion brand that designs, produces, and distributes colorful, handmade, and sustainable knitwear to spread awareness of gender inequality. Through knitwear and dedicated communication, women's empowerment messages take shape and take on even more strength, enhancing community participation through coaching, mentoring, and career guidance. A brand dedicated to all women and men who are not afraid to show others what they think. Wearing a Whispr jumper means taking a stand against the discrimination and inequalities that still penalize women in their journey.  Whispr is a benefits company with a strong social vocation. It is committed to ensuring that all the actors in its supply chain are protagonists and ambassadors of the project. The best wool and cotton producers are selected and partnerships with social cooperatives are implemented because environmental protection and the empowerment of all those involved are the company's main objectives. Whispr's collections are a manifesto of empowerment; as knitwear becomes more widespread, the message will be more and more in the public eye, contributing to the discussion on the issue.  Whispr collaborates with several non-profit organizations to create training/workshops for disadvantaged women; the main objective of the project coincides with Goal 5 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, 'Achieve gender equality and self-determination for all women and girls.

Whispr is an Italian small business 100% owned by its female founder as per self-declaration

The company behind Whispr is 100% founded and owned by its female founder, and it is also run entirely by women. To be noted also that the whole message behind every Whispr product is strictly tied to women's empowerment, as can be perceived from the words and writing on their jumpers

Whispr collaborates with a social cooperative called Manusa, which means "humanity" in Sanskrit, and has the purpose of revitalizing textile crafts with social and ethical values, employing women from different backgrounds. Whispr's embroidered clothing is made by these women, as they care to support the community as well as the Italian textile craftsmanship

Whispr's production is almost exclusively carried out by craftsmen who favor high-quality materials and excellent workmanship. One of the old techniques they care to support and use for their clothing is handmade embroidery, carefully mastered by Manusa women

Whispr's founding belief is that conceiving a meaningful collection requires a certain amount of time and dedication, therefore they choose not to follow the fast pace of fashion but rather to be a slow fashion brand

The "timeless" tag is assigned to companies whose focus is to create everlasting products that can stand the test of time in terms of style and physical durability. Whispr beautifully embraces this value

Organic cotton is cotton grown in pesticide-free environments, with sustainability in mind. 

Organic cotton farmers can keep soil healthy for longer, as the fertility of the soil is not compromised. This also means they only grow GMO-free seeds. Additionally, organic cotton farmers do not have to expose themselves to harmful chemicals, prioritizing workers' health, the health of the people in their communities, and the natural ecosystems they operate in. 

Organic cotton is a bio-based material, making it biodegradable, fully composting after it has retired from use.

Organic cotton is a sustainable solution as it is grown without the use of pesticides, from seeds which have not been genetically modified, unlike regular cotton. It is also more sustainable for cotton farmers, protects their land and is more respectful for people.
