Pull&Bear

For most brands disclosure ends where the sewing happened. Pull&Bear goes two stages further back.

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

  • Own material check 0/15
  • Fabric weight stated 0/12

Evidence for the price About what this price band usually documents

Three lines that are otherwise missing

On 30 July 2026 we read the details for a Pull&Bear t-shirt, reference 3230326800, “95% cotton / 5% elastane”. Under “traceability” sits not a country but a breakdown:

Weaving: BANGLADESH · Dyeing and printing: BANGLADESH · Garment making: BANGLADESH

Three process stages, named individually. In this case all three sit in the same country — but the structure of the statement allows them to diverge, and that is the point.

Why this is more than “Made in”

For almost every other brand disclosure stops at garment making. Where the fabric was woven and where it was dyed appears nowhere — not at Dior, not at Fendi, and in each of those portraits we have to record the upstream stages as unknown.

Even Weekday, which names the sewing factory with address and workforce, names only that one. Pull&Bear names no factory but three stages. These are two different kinds of depth, and both are entirely absent from the luxury segment.

The certifier is named, with a number

For material claims the page names not just certificates but the certifier and its number: “Certified by Intertek 193341” — for OCS organic cotton and RCS recycled fibres.

That stands out against a brand we checked elsewhere: No Label advertises organic cotton but names neither GOTS nor any other certifier. A t-shirt under ten euros names certifier and certificate number here; a transparency-branded label does not.

How we obtained the details

This belongs in the open. The Inditex shops load these sections only on click; a saved page contains the heading but not the content. Our own retrievals failed on this. The text therefore comes from the browser of this site’s operator, taken verbatim.

What this does not mean

Three stages are not a whole chain.

Where the cotton was grown does not appear. And no business is named — unlike at Weekday or Fendi.

Nor is it a statement about conditions.

That three stages sit in Bangladesh says nothing about how work is done there.

What we can document

  • Origin split across three process stages, verbatim: “Weaving: BANGLADESH / Dyeing and printing: BANGLADESH / Garment making: BANGLADESH”
  • T-shirt reference 3230326800, “95% cotton / 5% elastane”
  • Certifier named with number: “Certified by Intertek 193341” for OCS organic cotton and RCS recycled fibres
  • Certified fibre shares quantified: 65% OCS organic cotton, 5% RCS recycled elastane
  • Details load client-side and are absent from the saved document

What we cannot

  • Which businesses carry out the three stages — no names are given
  • Where the cotton was grown
  • Whether all articles carry the process-stage breakdown; we checked one
  • Conditions in the businesses involved
  • Whether the details are reproducible in our own retrieval — our access failed, the text came via the operator

Questions readers ask

Where is Pull&Bear made?

For the t-shirt we checked on 30 July 2026, in Bangladesh — for all three stages named: weaving, dyeing and printing, and garment making.

What does the stage breakdown mean?

It shows where the fabric was woven, where it was dyed and printed, and where it was sewn. Most brands name only the last stage, if any — at Dior and Fendi we have to record the upstream stages as unknown.

Is the factory named too?

No. Pull&Bear names countries per stage but no businesses. Weekday and & Other Stories do the reverse: the factory with address, but only the sewing one.

Are the material certificates documented?

The page names the certifier and number — “Certified by Intertek 193341” — for OCS organic cotton and RCS recycled fibres. That is more than most brands state for their organic claims.
