WE HELP WOMEN TO LOOK AND FEEL GREAT IN THEIR SPORTS GEAR ANY TIME.
Innovative, functional, stylish – that’s SHER. The Italian sportswear brand for women, inspired by female cyclists.
Taking sports fashion for women to a new level was Sara Canali’s drive. As a pilot and sportswomen who has tried everything from soccer to ice hockey, she has always believed in making her own dreams come true. In 2019, the fashion and sports industry expert turned her vision into reality and founded a new label in the middle of the Dolomites.
Sara’s ambition is to make every sport accessible to women, starting with technical clothing designed and made for women.
Fixed roles, categories and constraints do not suit Sara Canali, who has made SHER a symbol of her “everything is possible”.
Her inspiration comes from a passion for an active lifestyle, her desire to challenge the status quo – with products created by women and for women.
In this way, she has created unprecedented technical garments for women, replacing traditional sports collections and creating a new market positioning.
SHER is the technical sportswear for women that combines style, elegance and functionality in a unique way.
WHY “SHER”?
SHER is more than just sportswear. SHER is an attitude to life. SHER is the fusion of the initial letter of Sport and Her, the English feminine pronoun: because we always pay attention to the passions and needs of women.
SHER also means sharing: we live the continuous exchange with our customers, and this has become the basis for our innovations.
Our clothing is produced with the best partners in the industry, located in Italy and Portugal and acting in an ethical, sustainable and transparent way.
We distribute SHER worldwide, to all places and to all women who love to live their passion for sport, for life, for activity.
SHER, the perfect combination of Women, Sports and Passion.
True success in life is to act in coherence with one’s own values: these are the values that accompany us in our professional and personal life.
Vision & Values

QUALITY
It’s a fact: the best way to act responsibly is to reduce the amount of products that flow to the market. The SHER collection is reduced to versatile essentials. We develop items that fulfill a purpose and solve a true problem for SHER women. Less is more! And we all can make a change by living a positive, active lifestyle with a small but selected wardrobe. SHER products are manufactured in high standard factories where workmanship is at its excellence. Out team thus ensures the prime quality and durability of every single SHER piece. Our minimalistic design and sophisticated style do not follow trends. SHER products are timeless. They are not made to be replaced after one season. They are here to stay.
RAW MATERIALS
SHER's sustainable approach starts with raw materials: We look for high quality, durable fabrics that are mainly made in Italy and produced with the most environmentally friendly process possible. SHER also uses fabrics made from biodegradable yarns and dead stock fabrics, which we reserach and select very carefully. Every year, tons of unused high-tech sports textiles are incinerated or sent to landfill. We strive to work with our Italian and Portuguese textile partners to track down suitable fabrics, carefully select them, execute quality tests and finally integrate them into our collection. In 2020, we purchased over 200 kg of dead stock fabrics and utlized them to design our garments. In 2021, we increased this amount to 640 kg. We are always looking for fabrics that come from recycling processes that require as little energy as possible or are made from biodegradable fibres. At SHER, we use the innovative biodegradable yarn Amni Soul Eco® from Fulgar and SOLVAY, which has an "accelerated biodegradability" of about 5 years. All the fabrics we use are Oeko-Tex 100 certified, free of harmful substances and comply with European directives.
PACKAGING
At SHER we're really trying hard to avoid one-way-use materials, especially plastics. AVOIDING IS BETTER THAN RECYCLING. Therefore, all our product shipments are packed and delivered in fabric bags sewn from stock fabrics. We return them afterwards for re-use. All our customers receive SHER products packed in recycled avana boxes and wrapped in silk paper that can easily be re-used or recycled. Avoiding polybags is certainly better than recycling them. It not only reduces our impact, but also makes online shopping nicer.
PRODUCTION
We strongly care about where we produce our garments. Our partners' factories are located in northern Italy and northern Portugal. We know them personally and have chosen them based on their production standards, work ethic and of course the quality. We are united by a common desire to make a positive contribution to the environment and fair working conditions for the (mostly female) employees of the companies. We like to reduce transport as much as possible, so we also select raw materials close to the place of production.
Sustainability
At SHER we use fabrics and materials, manufacturing processes and packaging that guarantee outstanding performance and at the same to reduce the impact on the environment. SHER collaborates with leading pioneers in the field of research and sustainable developments. These partnerships are crucial to meet the demands of our planet as well as the expectations of our conscious and sensitive customers, who direct their purchasing decisions towards "clean" products in every aspect of their life cycle. We do a lot of research and development in the field of environmental sustainability and promise you that performance doesn’t have to come at the cost of integrity – on the contrary.
