How much polyester does PrettyLittleThing use?

32.9% of PrettyLittleThing products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is above average for fast fashion retailers.

Is PrettyLittleThing mostly synthetic?

32.9% of PrettyLittleThing products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 19.6%, so the rest of the catalog is still leaning synthetic in most cases.
