The fabric verdict

Reformation is one of the better options for natural fabrics. With 42.7% of products being nearly all-natural, you have real choices here. Still — always check the label. Not every item is created equal.

One honest caveat: this report measures fabric composition only. Natural fibres biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics, which makes fibre content a meaningful — and rare — measurable sustainability signal. But it says nothing about Reformation's labor practices, emissions, water use, or production volumes. Treat it as one input, not a verdict.

Direction of travel: Reformation's average natural fibre content has moved from 63% in May 2026 to 63.3% today, based on our point-in-time catalog snapshots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Reformation sustainable?

On fabric composition — the one factor we can measure — Reformation averages 63.3% natural fibre across 1,577 products, ranking #22 of 55 brands we track. That's roughly mid-pack. Fabric data can't speak to labor practices, emissions, or water use, so treat this as one input, not a verdict.

Is Reformation fast fashion?

We measure fabric, not business models — so we can't classify Reformation as fast fashion or not. What the data shows: 6.8% of their products are polyester-heavy and 42.7% are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). Heavy synthetic reliance often correlates with fast-fashion production, but it isn't proof either way.

Is Reformation good quality?

Fabric composition is a reasonable quality proxy: natural fibres generally breathe better, last longer, and shed fewer microplastics. Reformation averages 63.3% natural fibre, which is better than most brands we track. Individual items vary widely, so check the composition label on each piece.

Is Reformation worth it? Should I buy from them?

That depends on what you're buying. 42.7% of Reformation's catalog is nearly all-natural, so good pieces exist even beyond their solid average. Use the Fibr extension to check fabric composition on individual items while you shop — it varies more within a brand than between brands.

Is Reformation mostly synthetic or natural?

31.3% of Reformation products are majority synthetic (less than 50% natural fibre by weighted content). The catalog as a whole averages 63.3% natural fibre, so it leans natural.
