Staark was born one cold autumn morning when our founders realised that just maybe all the apparel currently available in the market doesn’t quite actually cater for everybody. They watched their cycling companions pulling on garments that were either too loose or tight in places; for the outlay they had all made on their beautiful bicycles, they were owed clothing that had an equal amount of much attention paid to it. Alasdair is Co-founder of Staark Cycling, a new couture cycling clothing brand that designs and manufactures premium technical performance clothing and an accompanying Athleisure range. Staark utilises the latest fabric technologies and construction techniques combined with fully sustainable business operations to deliver maximum performance and forward-looking green Credentials.
Alasdair Scott, Co-Founder & Director said “From day one the Staark, the team have worked incredibly hard to ensure that we’re an ethical business that’s focused on a 100% vetted supply-chain, eco-friendly fabrics that use recycled source materials, selection of European-based family businesses as partners and aiming to get people out of cars and onto bikes”.
“Therefore we’re super-pleased to be awarded full B-Corp status as this reflects everything we’ve been working towards” Scott continued, “Staark is and always will be a next-generation business that puts ethics before profit and cares deeply about our people, our customers and the planet.”
As well as full B-Corp certification, Staark has partnered with e-commerce platform Stripe to donate 1% of the company turnover to carbon sequestration activities via Stripe Climate.
