Frequently asked questions.

What is Stradivarius clothing made of?

Based on our analysis of 261 Stradivarius products, the average garment is 53.8% natural fibre. The most common single fibre is Cotton (in 47.9% of products). The remaining material is typically synthetic — polyester, polyamide, or acrylic.

Is Stradivarius cotton?

Sometimes — cotton appears in 47.9% of the 261 Stradivarius products we analyzed, but it's usually blended with synthetics. Only 34.5% of items are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre), so check the composition before assuming a piece is pure cotton.

Is Stradivarius 100% cotton?

Some pieces are. Of the 261 Stradivarius products we analyzed, 88 are 100% cotton (or near-pure, 95%+) — that's 33.7% of the catalog. The rest are blends.

How much polyester does Stradivarius use?

21.1% of Stradivarius products are polyester-heavy, meaning polyester makes up 50% or more of the garment. This is below average for fast fashion retailers.

Is Stradivarius mostly synthetic?

21.1% of Stradivarius products are polyester-heavy (50%+ polyester). Average natural fibre content is 53.8%, so the rest of the catalog is mixed.

Does Stradivarius use natural fabrics?

34.5% of Stradivarius products are nearly all-natural (95%+ natural fibre). A decent portion of their range avoids synthetic fibres entirely.

Is Stradivarius sustainable in terms of fabric?

Fabric composition is one factor in sustainability. With an average of 53.8% natural fibre, Stradivarius is about average on this measure. Natural fibres generally biodegrade and shed fewer microplastics than synthetics.

Methodology: We analyzed 261 Stradivariusproduct 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.
