Our Story
Our story as a company starts in manufacturing, an industry often seen by the outside world as mechanical, standardised, and uncreative. But our founders’ original vision was of a different kind of manufacturing. A manufacturing that is artistic and expressive, manufacturing elevated to an art form.
For us at Stella international, beauty is found behind-the-scenes, away from the spotlight. We find it in the meticulous making of beautiful things for the world to enjoy, and in striving each day for an artistic perfection that is tantalising yet just unattainable.
Beauty in the making
Vision in the Making
The vision of our founders was for a more artistic, expressive kind of manufacturing. By creating shoes that balance craft and innovation. By investing in our clients’ brands for the long term. By building entirely new categories for our clients. Stella International uniquely has the vision and skill to make our client’s dreams come true.
Artistry in the Making
Every great artist has a trademark instrument. Ours is a mastery of materials, an extraordinary savoir-faire that has been passed down through generations of exploration and craft. We are dedicated to our treasured process of creation by hand, celebrating the people behind the making whose creative ingenuity knows no limits.
Empathy in the Making
At the heart of our culture is the ethos of celebrating craft, and caring for the hands who make it. We are caring of all those around us, and conscious of our work’s potential to make a difference to the world.
Ingenuity in the Making
For our clients, our difference is the ability to see things from their eyes, relentlessly innovating and evolving how we serve their needs in a truly bespoke way. We launched our pioneering Smart Stella programs to elevate our process and people management through digitalisation and transparency, keeping us always one step ahead.
“The products we make aren’t industrial factory products, but shoes with beauty and life.”
