Milan

What Save the Duck is known for

Milan-based outerwear brand launched 2012 by Nicolas Bargi, third generation of a textile family dating to 1914; uses PLUMTECH synthetic insulation instead of down, positioned as fully animal-free.

Save the Duck was launched in 2012 by Nicolas Bargi, a third-generation member of a family textile business that traces back to 1914. Bargi spent much of his career sourcing garment production in Bangladesh, Indonesia, and India, and has said that experience led him to start a brand built around avoiding animal-derived materials. Save the Duck's outerwear uses PLUMTECH, a synthetic thermal padding, in place of down or fur, sometimes paired with recycled fabrics such as regenerated nylon; the company describes its products as fully animal-free. The brand is based in Italy and has grown into a broader outerwear line sold internationally, still built around the same no-animal-materials positioning it launched with.
