Frequently asked questions.

What is Princess Polly clothing made of?

Based on our analysis of 12,096 Princess Polly products, the average garment is 34.1% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Polyester (in 58.3% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Is Princess Polly cotton?

Sometimes — cotton appears in 33.9% of the 12,096 Princess Polly products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 24.4% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Is Princess Polly 100% cotton?

Some pieces are. Of the 12,096 Princess Polly products we analyzed, 2771 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 22.9% of the catalog. The rest are blends.

How much polyester does Princess Polly use?

50.3% of Princess Polly products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is above average for fast fashion retailers.

Is Princess Polly mostly synthetic?

50.3% of Princess Polly products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 34.1%, so the rest of the catalog is still leaning synthetic in most cases.

Does Princess Polly use natural fabrics?

24.4% of Princess Polly products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). Only a small fraction of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.

Is Princess Polly sustainable in terms of fabric?

Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 34.1% natural fibre, Princess Polly is below average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.

Methodology: We analyzed 12,096 Princess Pollyproduct 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.
