Stella McCartney
London-headquartered luxury fashion house founded in 2001, designing sustainable, animal-free ready-to-wear, accessories, footwear and material innovations.
Stella McCartney is a luxury fashion house founded in 2001 and headquartered in London, with a global brand presence built over more than two decades. The company designs and sells sustainable, animal-free luxury fashion and accessories, and operates across several industry verticals: luxury fashion, apparel and ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear, and sportswear.
Its commercial portfolio spans women's ready-to-wear, unisex capsules, kids' clothing, accessories, swimwear and lingerie, alongside a celebrated performance wear collaboration with adidas. Two products - the Falabella bag and the Elyse shoe - are described as defining pieces in luxury fashion. Alongside its collections, the company works in sustainable material innovation, alternative and vegan leather development, and textile and material R&D, including MIRUM®, a plastic-free animal leather alternative.
The business was founded on Stella McCartney's lifelong commitment to vegetarianism and has refused to use leather and fur since inception. Its stated core values are sustainability, ethical production and animal welfare, with a mission to show that fashion can be luxurious, desirable and sustainable without compromising style or ethics. The company describes itself as a leader in conscious luxury and as seeking to challenge the luxury fashion industry from the outside in.
Operations are run from London, and the brand sells worldwide.
