A testament to nature’s wonders, discover the Härkila Eiderdown vest, a product steeped in tradition and sustainability. Handcrafted from the world's most coveted eiderdown—carefully hand collected from nests in Iceland, where 3000 kilos are harvested annually—this vest represents more than just lightweight warmth. Nestled within its construction is a legacy spanning three generations of eider duck caretakers. The eider ducks, protected and cherished by these caretakers, create a symbiotic relationship. The birds choose to nest close to humans, promoting safety and continuity for future harvests. Eiderdown, renowned for its remarkable warmth-to-weight ratio, is meticulously collected by hand before the eggs hatch, guaranteeing the down's exceptional quality. This sustainable by-product, taking 65 man-hours to refine a kilo, encapsulates a meticulous process blending tradition, warmth and ethical craftsmanship.
