Everlane is bringing sustainability to the inside of its clothing.
The brand has launched its new Re:Down line of outerwear made with
cruelty-free recycled fill.
Typically, down filling in jackets is made using cruel
living-plucking practices, as Everlane explained on its website. Its
Re:Down fill is made from 100 percent recycled down comforters and
pillows.
Similarly, all of the jackets in the Re:Down line features 100
percent recycled shell fabric, using post-consumer recycled plastic as
with its ReNew line.
A spokesperson from Everlane told Sourcing Journal that the brand
is working towards minimizing its use of virgin materials anywhere it
can. Everlane also explained that it sources its recycled down from a
Hungarian facility that reclaims feathers from used comforters and
pillows, then washes, dries and sterilizes the materials to ensure
they are suitable for reuse.
Everlane’s Re:Down line features the short-length Puffy Puff
jacket, which retails for 168 dollars and the 198-dollar full-length
Sleeping Bag jacket.
