Save the Duck

Overview

It’s hard to know what to highlight about Save the Duck because there’s so much good stuff. Quick anecdote for illustrative purposes: when I was a gangly, knock-kneed teenager, I desperately wanted a coat that was stylish, actually warm, and down-free, but at best could only seem to check 2/3 of those boxes. (Style and down-free prevailed; cue needing so many layers for warmth that I became a bona fide sausage person a la Randy in A Christmas Story.) Anyway, to land the plane, Save the Duck is the company I wish I’d known about back then – super stylish outerwear that’s 100% animal-free & cruelty-free, sustainable, and ethically-made. Dreamy.
