When I started You Charming Thing, You, I knew the blank mattered just as much as the design. Stanley Stella checks every box — organic cotton, ethical manufacturing, and a weight that actually feels premium. These aren't just sweatshirts. They're the foundation of everything I embroider.
Our entire US collection is fully sustainable, crafted from 100% organic cotton or recycled polyester (all GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified).
Our recycled polyester is made from used post-consumer PET bottles.
Stanley/Stella's mission is to redefine sustainable textile production, to deliver premium-quality garments and to prioritize fair labor practices.
Stanley/Stella has long been at the forefront of sustainability, working to minimize our carbon footprint.
In 2024, we launched an industry-wide decarbonization plan to reduce our carbon emissions by 30% by 2030 across our entire value chain.
Through close partnerships with factories, ginners, and farmers, we're setting a new standard of collaboration to drive meaningful change. Our mission remains to inspire positive change and lead the textile industry toward a more sustainable future.
According to Textile Exchange
As one of the top buyers of organic cotton globally1, Stanley/Stella sets the standard in the B2B and retail space by combining scale with certified responsible sourcing.
Since day one, we have chosen to work with organic cotton. Our fibres come from non-GMO seeds and are grown without chemical pesticides or fertilisers, so it remains clean for the soil.
Today, all our knitwear is made using 100% GOTS-certified2 organic cotton, a verifiable standard that ensures certified processing and chain of custody across key stages.
In a market where organic cotton represents only a small share of global production, this choice reflects a long-term commitment to certified materials and consistent quality.
