Frequently asked questions.

What is Anthropologie clothing made of?

Based on our analysis of 894 Anthropologie products, the average garment is 60.2% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 49.3% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Is Anthropologie cotton?

Sometimes — cotton appears in 49.3% of the 894 Anthropologie products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 36.6% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Is Anthropologie 100% cotton?

Some pieces are. Of the 894 Anthropologie products we analyzed, 297 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 33.2% of the catalog. The rest are blends.

How much polyester does Anthropologie use?

14.3% of Anthropologie products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.

Is Anthropologie mostly synthetic?

14.3% of Anthropologie products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 60.2%, so the rest of the catalog is mostly natural-led.

Does Anthropologie use natural fabrics?

36.6% of Anthropologie products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.

Is Anthropologie sustainable in terms of fabric?

Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 60.2% natural fibre, Anthropologie is better than many competitors on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.

Methodology: We analyzed 894 Anthropologieproduct pages, extracting the fabric composition listed by the retailer. Products are categorized by name keywords. Natural fibre percentage is the sum of all natural fibres (cotton, linen, silk, wool, viscose, lyocell, etc.) in each product's composition. Data is refreshed monthly.
