Only sustainable fabrics<br />

100% certified organic ring-spun combed cotton<br />

All our fabrics have been chosen with consideration for their contemporary style <strong>and</strong> their role as<br />

a printing medium. <strong>Stanley</strong> & <strong>Stella</strong> only work with eco-friendly materials. Our apparel is therefore<br />

made of 100% certified pure organic cotton or blended with fabrics like Tencel ® or Modal.<br />

Organic Cotton production improves soil fertility <strong>and</strong> biodiversity, thanks to diversified crop<br />

rotation <strong>and</strong> non-use of GMOs. Only natural fertilizers <strong>and</strong> pesticides are used, so groundwater<br />

<strong>and</strong> rivers are kept free of chemicals. At the same time, water irrigation is better controlled.<br />

All of <strong>Stanley</strong> & <strong>Stella</strong>’s organic cotton is certified with the globally-recognized GOTS st<strong>and</strong>ards.<br />

As a premium br<strong>and</strong>, we want to offer you the best. Which is why we choose to only use ring-spun<br />

combed cotton. Ring-spun fabric is softer <strong>and</strong> offers a plain, uniform surface which facilitates the<br />

best results from every kind of printing. In addition, the process of combing cotton includes special<br />

treatment of the cotton fibres during spinning that cleans them of all dirt, impurities <strong>and</strong> short<br />

fibres. This resulting fabric is comprised only of the longest fibres, making it stronger, longer-lasting.<br />

100% biodegradable.<br />

Tencel ®<br />

Tencel ® Lyocell, to give it its full name, is the most environmentally friendly man-made cellulosic<br />

fibre available today. It is produced exclusively from the wood pulp of Eucalyptus trees, which are<br />

sustainably grown on farms.<br />

Tencel ® is fashionable, stylish <strong>and</strong> well-known for its outst<strong>and</strong>ing physical characteristics, being<br />

silky soft with a soft-flowing, luxurious drape. It is perfectly smooth, has superb depth of colour,<br />

excellent moisture absorbency <strong>and</strong> is naturally hygienic as it inhibits the growth of bacteria.<br />

Tencel ® , the eco fibre, makes it possible to create truly environmentally-friendly products.<br />

Blending this with organically grown cotton, instead of conventionally grown cotton, gives<br />

consumers the opportunity to experience textiles made entirely of ecologically responsible fibres.<br />

100% biodegradable.<br />
