About the Sherpani Culture
Brand Vision
Sherpani is driven by the idea that quality bags add sophistication and personal distinctiveness to every wardrobe choice, and that handbags can positively affect a women’s self image, outlook and productivity.
Sherpani is devoted to designing quality bodywear with unique feminine styles, fresh color palettes and exclusive prints; bags that are both pretty and functional with a compelling quality and retail value.
Sherpani’s vision is to create a socially responsible brand whose unique products, core values and company culture serve the emotional and style needs of active women. Our accessories invite women to express their individual fashion and to be part of community that shares the common values of an active outdoor lifestyle.
Brand Identity
'Sherpani' visual identity is the mark of a stylized edelweiss flower that grows in the high alpine region of the European Alps. The alpine flower signifies our feminine focus and our bond to the outdoor lifestyle.
The name Sherpani comes from the the Nepalese term used for a female Sherpa; a member of a Tibetan people living on the high southern slopes of the Himalayas, who serve as expert guides on Himalayan mountaineering expeditions.
The Sherpani creed: Breath, Give, Stretch, Go is an expression of our personal and corporate values.

Recycled Nylon
Sherpani Sport and Travel Collections - We recycle used soda bottles, water bottles and other liquid containers. The use of recycled polyester for bags and other products lessens our need for oil, reduces waste (and the toxins required to burn it), and produces less pollution than when starting off with virgin polyester.
Benefits of recycled nylon: • Lessens dependence on oil
• Curbs discards, thereby prolonging landfill life and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators
• Helps to promote a new recycling stream for polyester bags and clothing that is no longer wearable
• Creates less air, water and soil contaminationSherpani strives for a minimum of 67% recycled Fabric in our Planet Friendly collection fabrics.
Non-Toxic Dyes
In all our collections, Sherpani uses Dyes with pigments from natural sources that do not contain carcinogenic materials, heavy metals or formaldehyde. Non toxic dyes tend to be safer for the environment, workers who produce them, and they are more skin friendly for people who have sensitivity to chemicals.
Recycled Aluminum
Sherpani strives for a minimum of 30% recycled aluminum in our metal hardware. The percentage of recycled materials Sherpani can use is dependent on the amount of “scrap” materials that are available. Scrap aluminum can easily be reused and recycled in products after its initial production. The process involves simply re-melting the metal, which is far less expensive and energy intensive than creating new aluminum through the electrolysis of aluminum oxide. Recycling scrap aluminum requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminum. As recycling does not damage the metal’s structure, aluminum can be recycled indefinitely and still be used to produce any product for which new aluminum could have been used.
Natural Fibers
Our Naturals Collection is made from all natural fibers; unlike petroleum-based fibers, Natural fibers are energy self-sustaining, and does not contribute to net greenhouse gas emissions. Natural fibers are made from plant, animal and mineral sources and improve the environmental sustainability of the parts being constructed.
