WISE Enterprise is born from the sole objective of empowering lives – not only the lives of the women and men carrying our bags, but the lives of all those involved into creating, producing and distributing each one of those bags.
Today WISE supports and provides employment opportunities for 3 socially disadvantaged groups; the creative youths from Muscular Dystrophy Association of Singapore (as our Bag Designers), people with disabilities and illnesses who may not be able to find stable employment (as our Fashion Consultants) and ex-offenders from The New Charis Mission (as our Logistics Partners).
