Product Overview
The Stella Paloma from Stanley/Stella represents a sophisticated shift in professional women's workwear. Eschewing the traditional restrictive cuts often found in corporate apparel, this sweatshirt embraces a modern, oversized 'boyfriend' aesthetic. Crafted from 100% organic combed ringspun cotton, it offers a substantial feel that speaks to its quality without the need for technical jargon. It is designed specifically for businesses that value both contemporary style and ethical manufacturing, providing a high-end look that remains comfortable throughout a demanding working day.
Key Features
- 100% Organic Combed Ringspun Cotton: This choice of material ensures a remarkably soft surface that is gentle on the skin while providing a premium base for custom branding.
- Oversized Boyfriend Fit: The dropped shoulders and relaxed silhouette offer a modern, fashion-forward appearance that differentiates your team from those in standard-issue apparel.
- Two-Needle Topstitching: All seams are finished with double-needle stitching, which significantly increases the garment's structural integrity and resistance to wear and tear.
- 1x1 Ribbed Collar and Hems: The inclusion of elastane-free ribbing at the collar, sleeves, and bottom hem ensures the garment retains its shape after repeated wear.
- Sustainable Accreditations: With certifications from GOTS, the Fair Wear Foundation, and PETA as a vegan-approved product, this sweatshirt aligns your brand with ethical and environmentally conscious practices.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Stella Paloma is rooted in its textile construction. The brushed interior provides a layer of thermal insulation, making it a reliable choice for cooler environments. The fabric's density is substantial, offering a weighted drape that feels both secure and luxurious. Design details like the internal grosgrain back neck tape and the self-fabric half-moon at the back neck are subtle touches that prevent irritation and ensure the garment sits correctly on the shoulders. The combed ringspun process removes shorter, weaker fibres, resulting in a smoother, stronger yarn that resists pilling and maintains its professional appearance over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stella Paloma is engineered with customisation in mind. The smooth, tight weave of the organic cotton provides an exceptionally flat surface, which is essential for achieving crisp, high-definition prints. For businesses looking to make a bold statement with large back graphics or chest designs, our Telford-based print team can ensure vibrant results.
For those requiring a more traditional and prestigious finish, this sweatshirt's substantial fabric weight is perfectly suited for embroidery. The density of the cotton supports intricate stitch work without causing the fabric to pucker or pull. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has specialised in high-quality embroidery, and our in-house experts can render your company logo with precision, ensuring a long-lasting and professional identity for your staff.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is an excellent choice for creative agencies, high-end retail staff, or hospitality teams who require a uniform that reflects a modern brand identity. It also serves as a premium option for event merchandise or corporate gifts where quality and sustainability are the primary focus. Its relaxed fit makes it particularly popular for roles that require a degree of movement without sacrificing style.

Practical Advice
As this is a 'boyfriend' style garment with dropped shoulders, the fit is naturally generous. If your team prefers a more fitted look, you may wish to consider selecting one size smaller than their usual measurement. For layering, its substantial weight makes it an excellent outer layer over a t-shirt or as a warm mid-layer beneath a heavier jacket during winter months.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the soft finish of the organic cotton, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures prevents the natural fibres from shrinking and helps to preserve the colour vibrancy of both the garment and your custom branding.
Bleaching agents should be strictly avoided. Chlorine-based chemicals will break down the organic cotton fibres and can cause significant damage or discolouration to your embroidered or printed logos. We also advise against dry cleaning, as the harsh solvents used can be detrimental to the fabric's natural properties.
When it comes to drying, please do not tumble dry this sweatshirt. The intense heat of a dryer can lead to garment distortion and may cause prints to crack or peel. Instead, reshape the garment while damp and dry it naturally. For ironing, use a low heat setting (110°C) and ensure you do not iron directly over any printed areas to avoid damaging the design.
