The Dangers of Down

Feathers are an incredibly overlooked filler material stuffed with animal cruelty. Down filled puffer coats, ski jackets, vests and are a few fashion items typically filled with animal feathers.

Geese and ducks are subjected to a cruel and painful practice called live-plucking which is when the feathers and undercoat feathers are pulled out of their skin while the birds are alive.

Synthetic down has made massive steps in quality and a few companies have gone the extra mile on their own to make sure no animals are harmed ever again; and you will still be warm and chic.
