Re:Down
The first ARKET Upcycled Down collection launched in 2018, featuring jackets, coats, and accessories designed for the coldest autumn and winter days without sacrificing functionality or style. Since its inception, the ever-refined collection has been made in partnership with Re:Down.
With factories in Hungary and China, Re:Down creates lightweight insulation from recycled down and feathers sourced from used bedding, jackets, and sleeping bags. These materials are sorted, washed in water and soap, and sterilised without the use of chemicals.
The highest-quality down and feathers are regenerated for use in new garments or duvets, while other components such as textiles, buttons, zippers, and broken feathers are recycled for various applications, including non-woven insulation or organic fertiliser.
Re:Down produces 100% recycled products with full traceability, distinguishing itself by also recycling the other waste from worn-out items. The company is certified under the Global Recycled Standard. In 2023, only 0.9% of the down and feathers used worldwide were certified under this standard (source: Textile Exchange), and just 3.2% of the global supply was certified under the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), a voluntary program that promotes more humane treatment of ducks and geese in the down industry.

Signe Siemsen on the freedom of trusting in nature
Interviews|April 2025
Plants have always been a source of both food and medicine, and the knowledge of how to use them has been passed down through generations. However, for most people today, that link is broken, and nature often represents something we need to approach with care. For Signe Siemsen – an herbalist, doula, and craftswoman living in Stockholm – having a relationship with the wild brings healing and meaning to what it means to be human.
