Anthropologie's pantss are 75.2% natural fibre, but their skirts are just 32.2%. That's a 43-point gap — where you shop within Anthropologie matters as much as whether you shop there at all.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Anthropologie clothing made of?
Based on our analysis of 40 Anthropologie products, the average garment is 51.3% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 40% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.
Is Anthropologie cotton?
Sometimes — cotton appears in 40% of the 40 Anthropologie products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 27.5% 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 40 Anthropologie products we analyzed, 11 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 27.5% of the catalog. The rest are blends.
How much polyester does Anthropologie use?
15% 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?
15% of Anthropologie products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 51.3%, so the rest of the catalog is mixed.
Does Anthropologie use natural fabrics?
27.5% of Anthropologie products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). Only a small fraction 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 51.3% natural fibre, Anthropologie is about average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.
