What is Bershka made of?

According to Fibr's Thread Report (July 2026), 24.3% of Bershka's 11,925 analysed products are majority-synthetic, with an average natural-fibre content of 53.8%.
Bershka's jeanss are 97.8% natural fibre, but their sweaters are just 33%. That's a 65-point gap — where you shop within Bershka matters as much as whether you shop there at all.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Bershka clothing made of?
Based on our analysis of 11,925 Bershka products, the average garment is 53.8% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 48.2% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.
Is Bershka cotton?
Sometimes — cotton appears in 48.2% of the 11,925 Bershka products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 36% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.
Is Bershka 100% cotton?
Some pieces are. Of the 11,925 Bershka products we analyzed, 3901 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 32.7% of the catalog. The rest are blends.
How much polyester does Bershka use?
24.3% of Bershka products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.
Is Bershka mostly synthetic?
24.3% of Bershka products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 53.8%, so the rest of the catalog is mixed.
Does Bershka use natural fabrics?
36% of Bershka products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.
Is Bershka sustainable in terms of fabric?
Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 53.8% natural fibre, Bershka is about average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.
