Cherish the comfort of organic cotton: a Stanley/Stella care guide

At Stanley/Stella, we make natural fibers a priority. We know there’s nothing quite like wearing organic cotton garments. The gentle touch and natural hand feel they provide make each piece special. With that, cotton’s natural properties respond to various elements differently. This means extra attention is required for maximum wearability.

The following information is designed to help our partners, and their customers, get the very best out of each Stanley/Stella garment. 

The journey of cotton

Our garments are designed to last and following the care instructions ensure the garments keep looking fresh while ensuring minimal impact on the environment.

We’ve made it easy to minimize such variables and ensure each item is worn as much as possible with the following guidelines. These keep garments looking fresh while ensuring minimal impact on the environment. 

Care tips for organic cotton

Whether you're creating corporate wear, promotional items, music merch, or your personal line, our Stanley/Stella women’s t-shirts and fleeces are designed to meet every need. 

Washing

Use the coldest wash cycle possible. Between 60F and 80F is suitable. This helps maintain the fabric’s integrity and prevents excessive shrinkage. Use a mild detergent and do not use bleach to preserve the color and texture. 

Drying

After washing, product can be placed in tumble dryer on low setting. Or to be more environmentally conscious, hang or lay flat to dry.

Ironing

Iron your garment on low heat to remove any creases and to restore its structure.  This helps the cotton fibers relax and return to their natural state.  It is also important to use special care with decorated items.

Storage

Store your garments in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Fold them neatly or hang them to avoid creases and maintain the original shape. 

Stain Removal

Address stains promptly. Soak the stained area in cold water before washing. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the cotton fibers. 

Embrace natural changes

As each Stanley/Stella garment is worn, the cotton will naturally age. This gives each piece a unique character. Such changes symbolize the life and experiences of the garment. 

By following the care instructions mentioned, the original state and charm of our garments can be preserved. Each Stanley/Stella piece is made to be part of wardrobes for years to come. 

Remember, all good things take time and loving care.
