Curated sample kit for new members
Three tiers, paced to your buying rhythm.
Tiers are not a paywall — they reflect how often you order, with each level adding a little more priority and a little more visibility.
Partner
For buyers placing repeat orders across one or two categories. Sampling priority and discounted sample shipping.
- Monthly release brief
- 3 sample kits per year
- Priority on stocked refs
Preferred
For buyers running multi-category, multi-season programs. Pre-release previews, custom sampling and named sourcing lead.

Who it's for
Built around active buyers, not lurkers.
Membership is best suited to buyers who already place repeat orders or are scoping a multi-SKU program. The lighter cadence — release briefs, sample alerts, restock heads-ups — replaces formal RFQs every time something new lands.
- Importers and distributors with regular restocks
- Brand owners running seasonal capsule launches
- Marketplace operators expanding into new categories
- Retail buyers planning private-label rollouts

Is membership paid?
No. Membership is invitation-based and free. Tiers reflect order rhythm, not subscription fees. Sample kits and shipping for Partner and Preferred tiers are covered by Stella.
Can I move between tiers?
Yes. Tiers are reviewed annually based on activity. Buyers who move into multi-category or multi-season programs are typically promoted at the next review.
What does the sample kit include?
Material swatches, small finished samples and a packaging mockup aligned to your primary categories. Preferred tier kits are customized to upcoming projects.
Do I need an existing account?
No. New buyers can be invited after the first project closes successfully. Reach out via the Contact Us page to introduce your business.
