Natural fibre clothes shops

[DontFundHate]

Which shops are good for natural fibres? Cotton, wool etc? Ive had some luck with boden, joules and seasalt, sometimes white stuff, is there anywhere else? So tired of having to check the label all the time and finding out something pretty is synthetic!

To maxx oddly quite often has merino amongst all the polyester...

People Tree, Toast, Cos (varies)

John Lewis...sort by fabric.

People Tree have really soft organic cotton

Howies
Uniqlo
Patra ‘s USP is that they only use natural fibres - cotton, silk, wool - although I sent back a dress which was viscose,

Thought too (used to be Braintree)

Some of the cheaper shops have natural fibres - I've had cotton cardigans from primark and Dorothy Perkins, but you do have to check labels. H&M have an organic cotton range which is obviously labelled. If you don't mind viscose, a lot of oasis knitwear is viscose and they have nice designs.

For merino and cashmere, uniqlo is good value. People on here have rated kettlewell before, although they can look a bit elderly in their styling.

Kettlewell you can search by fabric. Unlike M&S who seem to think 'cotton rich' means anything from 97% cotton down to 50%. Have a feeling you can search by fabric on Pure Collection as well.

Woolovers for wool,silk, cotton avd cashmere blend jumpers.

Does viscose last as long as natural fibres?

John Lewis and h and m tips are awesome! Thanks all

poetry and wrap (same group one slightly older one slightly younger)

This seems to be the way I have to shop these days which is crazy- check the fabric label first, i disregard 95% based on the fact it's viscose or polyester...drives me mad!

Second woolover. Sizes come up big, I got a jumper in merino and cashmere, am a 32JJ size 14/16 and needed a medium. Feels lovely and customer service was great when the first one was too big

Agree with Uniqlo.

I was looking in Hobbs the other day and was shocked by how much was man made fibre. £89 blouses in viscose. It's so cheeky.

Lanabambini.co.uk for wool vests

John Smedley for cotton and wool jumpers, cardies etc.
I have a 100% wool blazer from Hobbs
and 100% wool skirt from M&S both bought a few years ago for work.
I also have wool jumpers from Superdry and H&M which I've had a few years and still look good.

Viscose is natural, or ‘natural’, like bamboo is.

See also: lyocell.

Merino can be very cruel, if that’s a concern to you, I won’t link because it’s quite shocking. Just want to get the point across that natural materials can be very problematic too, particularly when it comes to environmental and cruelty concerns. I also like wool and silk as much as the next person, unfortunately.

Viscose is natural, or ‘natural’, like bamboo is.

But very processed.

A lot of shops that use to sell cotton now use viscose in some of their garments, Boden, Joules and Whitestuff, I am looking at you. I am not keen on it, maybe because of its tendency to shrink and it goes a bit hard and shrivelled sometimes, its all a bit unreliable

Look at the premium ranges at H&M, Mango and Zara, usually lots of natural fabrics cotton and silk blends, merino wool, cashmere etc.
