OCC Apparel New Zealand – Official Stanley/Stella Dealer

OCC Apparel, as a long standing Stanley/Stella supporter is extremely proud to be New Zealand’s first and only ‘Stanley/Stella Official Dealer’

Stanley/Stella collaborates with a handpicked selection of Official Dealers throughout Europe and now extends to New Zealand. OCC Apparel New Zealand is officially part of the Stanley/Stella family. We share the same sustainable DNA and commitment to quality. We provide our clients in New Zealand with Stanley/Stella’s premium sustainable blank apparel, paired with our expert garment decoration services. We specialise in screen-printing, embroidery decoration techniques and relabelling. We are here to support our clients projects perfectly, from start to finish.

Stanley/Stella is an innovative Belgian apparel company producing premium clothing for printing and decorating. Since their origins in 2012, they have worked hard to bring a vision for a more respectful, more equitable, and more
sustainable textile industry to life.

Stanley/Stella products are specially designed as blank items and made for decoration before resale. Each fabric has been created with decoration in mind, providing the best possible blank canvas for our client’s designs.

Stanley/Stella has always focussed on simplicity, highlighting the essence of the garment. The driving force of its founder Jean Chabert was to break codes and be a game changer who reinvents fashion for a better world. Stanley/Stella want to inspire positive change through their collections and partners from our communities, offering products that respect people and the environment, and that meet the needs of the customers.

Sustainability has been one of their core values since day one, and it is firmly embedded in every aspect of their business culture. It is reflected in how they choose raw materials, design products and develop collections. It shapes decisions about the workplace environment and policies, and it influences how they recruit and empower their employees. And it guides how they choose partner factories and how they grow their network of decorators and resellers.

Stanley/Stella are committed to using their business as a force for good, and the Stanley/Stella Charter, launched in 2022, serves as our guiding framework. With goals and engagements on critical environmental, social, and governance issues, the Charter outlines the 10 core principles that guide their behaviour and inspire the entire Stanley/Stella community to care about our planet and its people.
