Fashion & Sustainability

Posted by Stella Carakasi on

Why offer pre-orders? In order to further the sustainability conversation and the role we play, we are always thinking of ways in which to support this ideal. So we ask ourselves– how can we offer new products without over-producing designs that may or may not resonate with the end consumer, while at the same time… Continue reading Fashion & Sustainability

Defining your personal style

Posted by Stella Carakasi on

Personal style is self-expression without saying a word. Being who you are no matter what event or situation you might find yourself in. We all have those “no one can stop me” days when things just click; you’re feeling beautiful and confident­­– like the best version of yourself. Take note of what you’re wearing, these are the outfits that embody your true personal style and serve as a great foundation for developing a better understanding of your personal style and also serve as inspiration for style updates.

Investing in a Sustainable Future

Posted by Brock Doughlas on

We’re taking Stella Carakasi to the next level and invite you to join us. If you’ve ever wanted to invest in a size-inclusive, luxury-clothing brand with roots in sustainability and social responsibility now is your chance!  

By shopping the Stella Carakasi collection you’re already supporting a brand that takes these virtues to heart. But now, thanks to new crowdfunding legislation, YOU can own a piece of the brand! Your investment will give us the ability to deepen our commitment to the environment and infuse sustainability in everything we do.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We just launched our first crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine, one of the nation’s leading equity crowdfunding platforms. Check out our campaign page here where you’ll find a more detailed rundown on our mission and business plans going forward.

It’s in Our DNA

Our roots are in sustainability and environmental consciousness– values we honor. As an early adapter in sustainable fashion, our story started in 1992 when we launched the first full clothing collection made from hemp. Over the past 2 decades, our business has evolved but our values remain the same.

A Healthier Environment

Synthetic materials like polyester, are manufactured using toxic chemicals and take up to 1,000 years to decompose—which means that all of the polyester that has ever been produced still exists. Whenever possible we use naturally derived fibers like silk, organic cotton, wool, hemp, cashmere, alpaca and Tencel, because they have a lower impact on the environment and feel better against your skin.

Less is More

We believe less is more when less is better. We’ve eliminated excess inventory by manufacturing in small batch productions which means we’re able to increase sustainability and ensure extremely high production standards.
