The Upcycled Dow  series is a perennial favourite of the Aket team, offering lightweight natural warmth from reused materials. The new collection includes a range of downy outerwear and accessories specially designed for the changing seasons. 

Upcycling means reusing a discarded material in creative and innovative ways. It means designing with materials that we already have, rather than going out to find new ones, and infusing them with new value. Our Upcycled Down™ collection features high-quality down and feathers that are reclaimed from pre-used sleeping bags and bedding products, materials that would otherwise have gone to waste.

Their pre-used down and feathers are carefully washed in natural thermal water and sterilised at a high temperature, without the use of chemicals. By making use of existing resources instead of sourcing new ones, they can extend the life of quality products, preserving their value and limiting the demand for virgin raw materials.
