Frequently asked questions.
What is Aritzia clothing made of?
Based on our analysis of 1,506 Aritzia products, the average garment is 50.4% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Elastane (in 36.4% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.
Is Aritzia cotton?
Sometimes — cotton appears in 36.1% of the 1,506 Aritzia products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 32.5% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.
Is Aritzia 100% cotton?
Some pieces are. Of the 1,506 Aritzia products we analyzed, 331 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 22.0% of the catalog. The rest are blends.
How much polyester does Aritzia use?
24.6% of Aritzia products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.
Is Aritzia mostly synthetic?
24.6% of Aritzia products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 50.4%, so the rest of the catalog is mixed.
Does Aritzia use natural fabrics?
32.5% of Aritzia products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.
Is Aritzia sustainable in terms of fabric?
Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 50.4% natural fibre, Aritzia is about average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.
