Frequently asked questions.

What is Arket clothing made of?

Based on our analysis of 38 Arket products, the average garment is 94% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 84.2% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Is Arket cotton?

Sometimes — cotton appears in 84.2% of the 38 Arket products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 84.2% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Is Arket 100% cotton?

Some pieces are. Of the 38 Arket products we analyzed, 31 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 81.6% of the catalog. The rest are blends.

How much polyester does Arket use?

0% of Arket products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.

Is Arket mostly synthetic?

0% of Arket products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 94%, so the rest of the catalog is mostly natural-led.

Does Arket use natural fabrics?

84.2% of Arket products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.

Is Arket sustainable in terms of fabric?

Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 94% natural fibre, Arket is better than many competitors on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.

Methodology: We analyzed 38 Arketproduct 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.
