100% organic cotton - a noticeable difference to the touch
All Stanley/Stella cotton T-shirts are made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton
In practice, this means:
-
softer and smoother material than regular cotton
-
greater comfort when worn (does not irritate the skin)
-
better breathability and longer life
The product feels comfortable on the body even after a whole day of wear.
No harmful substances - safe even for sensitive skin
Every component of the T-shirt (fabric, thread, dye) complies with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which guarantees that:
-
it does not contain any chemicals that are harmful to health
-
it is safe even for sensitive skin
-
it complies with stricter limits than those required by EU legislation
The product has no chemical odor and poses no risk of irritation.
Specially designed for printing - graphics will last
Stanley/Stella tests each fabric internally from a printing perspective (DTG, DTF, screen printing, embroidery).
- uniform fabric surface
- colors retain their richness
- the print does not crack or fade after a few washes
The Košice motifs remain sharp and beautiful even after years of use.
Fair production = higher quality processing
The brand has long held Leader status in the Fair Wear Foundation, which means:
- controlled working conditions
- stable factories
- lower error rates and higher sewing standards
Quality is not a coincidence, but a system.
Stable cut and shape - the T-shirt does not "stretch out"
The products are developed as timeless models that remain in the range for years. This means:
- proven cuts
- high-quality stitching
- the T-shirt retains its shape even after repeated washing
It is not a disposable "event" T-shirt.
A premium brand used by brands across Europe
Stanley/Stella is:
- the European leader in blank apparel for printing
- used by hundreds of brands, merch projects, and designers
- available only through official dealers—not cheap mass-produced goods
Treat yourself to quality, not quantity.
Fair Wear Foundation
Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is an independent organization that works with apparel brands, garment workers and textile industry influencers to improve labor conditions in garment factories.
As a FWF member, Stanley/Stella organizes third-party audits to assess human rights risks and monitor HRDD progress in factories. CAPs are reviewed and remediated in collaboration with factory management until they can be closed. Stanley/Stella has been a member of FWF since 2012.
Textile Exchange
Textile Exchange is a global non-profit organization that works closely with its members to drive industry transformation in preferred fibers, integrity and standards, and responsible supply networks.
As a member since 2012, Stanley/Stella participates in various initiatives of Textile Exchange, including the annual Material Change Index survey and the Sustainable Cotton and Polyester Challenges, which are part of the Corporate Fiber and Material Benchmark Survey. These tools map the progress towards more sustainable sourcing at the raw material level.
GOTS
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading worldwide standard for organic cotton. Based on both ecological and social criteria, it guarantees that cotton is organically grown without the use of genetically modified seeds or hazardous chemicals.
It also ensures traceability from post-harvesting of the raw material to the final customer, including transaction certificates at every stage of production. We offer GOTS-certified products by Control Union CU 819434, each labelled individually.
GRS
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is the world's leading standard for recycled textiles. The standard applies to the full supply chain and addresses traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content, and labelling. All the recycled cotton, recycled polyester, and recycled nylon we use is GRS certified by Control Union CU 819434.
OEKO - TEX
Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world's best-known standards for assessing harmful substances in fabrics. Our certification confirms that Stanley/Stella products contain no chemical substances that are harmful to human health and the environment and guarantees that they comply with the EU REACH regulation. Standard 100 also prohibits certain potentially harmful substances even where these are not yet legally banned.
PETA
Stanley/Stella is 'PETA-Approved', which means that we do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and pledge never to do so. Our products are made from 100% vegan materials with no ingredients of animal origin, ensuring that no harm is caused to animals.
