The Bota Fabric Guide

What we're
made of.

We started Bota because we couldn't find simple, stylish essentials that felt premium without trying too hard. Every fabric we choose starts with one question: how does it feel next to your skin?

"What's next to your skin matters."

Our Promise

Simple. Premium.
Without trying too hard.

We started Bota because we couldn't find essentials that felt truly premium without overcomplicating it. Every piece is designed to fit seamlessly into your life — not the other way around.

Responsibility

Small choices,
lasting impact.

We work in limited quantities to minimise waste, ship in 100% compostable mailers, and deliver every order in a reusable cotton bag. We're just beginning our journey — and we're committed to being transparent about it.

Versatility

From the gym
to everywhere else.

Bota pieces are built to transition — gym to errands, errands to evenings. Timeless designs that stay relevant season after season, and fabrics that earn their place in your daily rotation.

FAQ

We recommend checking our size chart before ordering. For Serenity fabric, consider sizing up if you prefer a less compressive fit. All other fabrics are true to size. If you're between sizes, we suggest going up for a more relaxed feel or down for a closer fit.
Serenity is our original sculpting fabric — smooth, firm, and high-compression. Serenity Soft is a softer, more flexible take on that same formula, with a velvety finish and moderate compression. Serenity is for performance. Serenity Soft is for when you want that sculpted feeling without the intensity.
Fabric weight refers to how heavy or light a fabric feels against your skin. Lighter fabrics (like Organic Cotton) feel airy and breathable. Heavier fabrics (like Cotton Fleece) feel more substantial and warm. The weight scale on each fabric page gives you a quick sense of where each sits.
Machine cold wash for all fabrics. Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry. Do not iron. For cotton pieces, washing inside out helps preserve colour and texture. Avoid fabric softeners on performance fabrics as they can affect the stretch and recovery over time.
Different dye processes can slightly alter the way a fabric feels — darker colours may feel marginally firmer, and lighter ones sometimes feel softer. These are minor differences and don't affect performance. If you're very sensitive to feel, our neutral tones tend to be the closest to the base fabric.
Yes. Every order ships in a 100% compostable mailer and arrives in a reusable cotton bag — not single-use plastic. We also work in limited quantities to minimise overproduction and waste. We're still early in our sustainability journey, but committed to being transparent every step of the way.
