Trainers have always been an all-season footwear staple for us at Whistles, so when it came to developing three new designs, sustainability, craftsmanship, and innovation played a fundamental part in each stage of the design process. Our latest pairs combine regenerated wool, a blend of recycled polyester, and recycled rubber for the soles, in timeless designs that are in line with our collections.

When crafting our swimwear, we always seek materials that are strong and supple, provide excellent elasticity and comfort, whilst being lightweight and soft to the touch – and nylon offers all of these features. As part of our evolving commitment to address the environmental impacts of our materials, we have begun to introduce recycled nylon into our collections – starting with swimwear. By offsetting the production of new virgin fibres, we are reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and regenerating nylon waste into new nylon fibre.

As we focus more on animal welfare, we have become certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), committing to high standards of respect and care for the animals that shape our products. The RWS is an international, voluntary standard that addresses animal welfare, traceability and land management. Its goal is to provide the industry with a tool to recognise the best practices of farmers; ensuring that wool comes from farms that have a progressive approach to managing their land, practice holistic respect for the welfare of the sheep and respect the Five Freedoms of animal welfare.
