How much this brand discloses, and how much of it we could verify. It is not a quality rating — a composition line cannot tell you how good a fabric is. How we calculate it

  • Production disclosure 13/25
  • Linked sources 16/20
  • Own material check 0/15
  • Fabric weight stated 0/12
  • Country stated per product 0/10
  • Construction detail stated 0/10

Evidence for the price About what this price band usually documents

A section named for it

The panel on the product page is labelled “composition, care instructions and origin” — origin is in the name of the section itself. Inside it, on 30 July 2026, it reads verbatim:

This garment was manufactured in the following countries of origin: Made in Pakistan

The plural wording — “countries of origin” — suggests several countries can appear there. For the item we read, “82% cotton, 18% polyester”, it was one.

Certifier with a number

As at sister brand Pull&Bear, the page names not only certificates but the certifier and its number: “Certified by Intertek 193341”, for OCS organic cotton and RCS recycled polyester. The shares are quantified.

For comparison: No Label, a brand built on a transparency claim, advertises organic cotton without naming any certifier at all.

The group names no factories

Inditex publishes supply chain figures in its sustainability report — factories by region, production markets — but, per our check, no list with names and addresses. That sets the group clearly apart from the H&M Group and Fast Retailing, which maintain such lists.

At Bershka the disclosure therefore sits on the product page, not in a group list.

How we obtained the details

The Inditex shops load this section only on click; a saved page contains the heading alone. Our own retrievals failed on this — the document carried the label “composition, care instructions and origin” but no content. The text therefore comes from the browser of this site’s operator.

What we can document

  • Verbatim: “This garment was manufactured in the following countries of origin: Made in Pakistan”
  • A dedicated section labelled “composition, care instructions and origin” — evidenced in the saved document itself
  • Composition “82% cotton, 18% polyester”
  • Certifier with number: “Certified by Intertek 193341” for OCS organic cotton and RCS polyester
  • Section content loads client-side and is absent from the saved document

What we cannot

  • Which business in Pakistan manufactures — no name is given
  • Whether all articles carry an origin statement; we checked one
  • A group supplier list with names and addresses; the sustainability report gives only regional figures
  • Whether the details are reproducible in our own retrieval — our access failed, the text came via the operator

Questions readers ask

Where is Bershka made?

For the item we read on 30 July 2026, in Pakistan. The page uses the plural — “countries of origin” — so several countries can appear there.

Does Bershka name the factory?

No, only the country. Sister brand Pull&Bear additionally names three process stages separately; neither names factories.

Does Inditex publish a factory list?

Per our check, no. The sustainability report gives factory counts by region and production markets but no names and addresses — unlike H&M Group and Fast Retailing.

Are the material claims documented?

The page names the certifier and number — “Certified by Intertek 193341” — for OCS organic cotton and RCS recycled polyester, with quantified shares.
