The outer layer of our jackets is made from virgin merino wool, spun and woven by an Italian mill. Their merino sheep inhabit the pristine open spaces of New Zealand’s plateaus, which results in high-quality fibres that are exceptionally soft, fine and supple. Their wool is processed and manufactured in a facility where water is carried out into a wastewater treatment plant and where energy is powered by photovoltaic systems.

Cultivation of traditional cotton is a drain on the earth’s resources and impacts both the environment and the cotton farmers. Instead of using fossil-fuel based fertilisers and chemical pesticides that are toxic and linked to a range of serious diseases, the farmers producing organic cotton rely on insects to control unwanted pests, which in turn encourages biodiversity.

Farmers and factories also avoid all use of harmful chemicals throughout their production processes (traditional cotton is bleached, brightened and dyed with substances containing heavy metals), which in turn improves water conservation and supports cleaner air, healthier soil and farmers’ livelihoods.

Our jackets are quilted using feathers and down that carry the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certification. This aims to ensure that down and feathers come from animals that have not been subjected to any unnecessary harm and where the producer observes the humane treatment of ducks and geese (no live-plucking, moult-harvesting or force-feeding). It enables companies to ensure a strong chain of custody from certified farms to the final product. The RDS logo is awarded by the Textile Exchange organisation and is only given to products containing 100% certified down and feathers.

Our belts are padded with recycled feathers and down certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS). In making this choice, our aim is to reduce waste while lowering our energy footprint.

Small cushions in the internal lining of our jackets are made out of recycled polyester filled with feathers and down. Polyester is a synthetic and artificial material that releases microfibers when washed and is not biodegradable. By using recycled polyester, we reduce environmental impact and waste. Our fabric is certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS).

We have chosen recycled polyester for our internal lining as we have been unable to substitute it with a natural fabric. We hope to find a better alternative in the near future.

Our arm warmers are made from cashmere that is certified Organic Content Standard (OCS). This certification validates that part of the content of the natural fibres is produced from organic agriculture and is free of toxic and harmful chemicals. The cashmere comes from several areas in China and Mongolia, where it is then processed in Italy to become a precious yarn. Our Italian supplier works in a facility that uses 100% of renewable energy and checks the correct use of chemicals to guarantee the eco-toxicological quality of the product throughout its supply chain.
