Cloud Lightness
Eiderdown is one of nature’s greatest masterpieces. A material so refined it feels almost unreal, with warmth and lightness that are completely unparalleled. Unlike other down, eiderdown is plucked from the female eider’s breast to insulate her nest. This remarkable insulation is so effective that she can leave her eggs unattended for hours in the arctic conditions of Svalbard, trusting in the eiderdown’s ability to maintain a constant temperature.
The tactile experience of eiderdown is truly extraordinary. To hold it is to know true softness, where a little goes a very long way. Unlike normal feathers there is no central quill, instead it is made up of a unique structure of light and fluffy filaments that naturally hook together. The result is a perfect product for heat and moisture regulation, a filling that is admirably hard wearing while still feeling as light as a cloud.
