Eiderdown, renowned for its remarkable warmth-to-weight ratio, is meticulously collected by hand before the eggs hatch, guaranteeing the down's exceptional quality. This sustainable by-product, taking 65 man-hours to refine a kilo, encapsulates a meticulous process blending tradition, warmth and ethical craftsmanship.
