Stella McCartney Fashion & Accessories

Stella McCartney is an eponymous luxury brand established in 2001. Founded by the namesake designer, the brand is renowned for its commitment to ethical fashion, sustainability, and the avoidance of leather, fur, and feathers in its collections. Originally launched as a joint venture with the Gucci Group (now Kering), the brand has become a global leader in high-end eco-friendly apparel, footwear, and accessories.

While the brand was founded in the United Kingdom, its high-end manufacturing is predominantly based in Italy to leverage traditional craftsmanship and specialized supply chains for luxury goods. Other categories, such as eyewear and skincare, may involve production in different international hubs. Over time, the brand has expanded its footprint through strategic partnerships and a unique ownership structure that balances creative independence with institutional backing.

In 2018, Stella McCartney bought back Kering's 50% stake to gain full control of her company. However, in 2019, she entered into a strategic partnership with LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton to accelerate global development. LVMH now holds a minority stake while Stella McCartney remains the creative director and majority owner, ensuring the brand continues its mission of sustainable luxury under the umbrella of the world's largest luxury conglomerate.
