Crafted with a Conscience

🌿 Why We Chose Stanley/Stella & Inkthreadable

At Evelyna Akicita, every decision is made with intention.

When choosing our garments and production partner, we looked for companies whose values reflected our own: exceptional quality, respect for people, and care for the planet.

That's why we chose Stanley/Stella garments, printed by Inkthreadable in the United Kingdom.

🌾 Organic Cotton

Our garments are made from premium 100% organic ring-spun combed cotton, carefully selected for its softness, durability and comfort.

Stanley/Stella sources organic cotton and works to ensure traceability throughout its supply chain while reducing the environmental impact associated with conventional cotton production.

🌾 The Story of Our Cotton

We chose Stanley/Stella because they believe exceptional clothing begins with exceptional materials.

Since 2012, Stanley/Stella has committed to using 100% organic cotton in its cotton garments. Their cotton is grown from non-GMO seeds, without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers, helping protect soil, waterways and biodiversity.

Rather than relying on a single source, they work with carefully selected organic cotton partners in India, Turkey and Tanzania. Their teams work directly with growers and regularly visit farms to help ensure quality, traceability and long-term relationships.

In Tanzania, Stanley/Stella partners directly with Remei Tanzania, supporting more than 2,000 smallholder farmers through training in organic farming, guaranteed purchasing agreements and premium payments above market prices.

Only a small percentage of the world's cotton is organic, which is why Stanley/Stella invests heavily in sourcing the highest-quality fibres. Longer cotton fibres create garments that are softer, stronger and more durable, helping clothing last longer while providing an excellent surface for printing.

Every stage of the journey—from cotton field to finished garment—is supported by recognised certifications and traceability systems, giving confidence that quality, environmental responsibility and ethical standards remain central throughout production

🎨 Conscious Printing

Every Evelyna Akicita garment is printed to order in the UK using modern Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing.

Inkthreadable uses vegan, eco-friendly, water-based inks that are OEKO-TEX® approved, meaning they are produced without regulated harmful chemicals.

🤍 Ethical Production

Stanley/Stella is recognised for its commitment to responsible manufacturing and independent certifications, including:

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
Fair Wear Foundation
PETA-Approved Vegan
Global Recycled Standard (for recycled materials where applicable)

These standards reflect environmental responsibility, product safety and ongoing work to improve labour conditions.

🌍 Printed on Demand

Every garment is printed only after you place your order.

This helps reduce overproduction, unnecessary waste and excess stock, creating a more thoughtful approach to fashion.

📦 Thoughtful Packaging

Inkthreadable has invested heavily in reducing plastic use, including paper mailing bags and cardboard packaging solutions wherever practical, helping to reduce single-use plastic.
