Save The Duck is an Italian outerwear and lifestyle clothing company born of the original Forest clothing company. Forest dates back to 1914, thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of Foresto Bargi. In 2012, a third-generation member of the family, Nicolas Bargi, launched the brand Save The Duck with a strong commitment to creating a product respectful of animals, the environment, and people.
Did you know eight ducks are killed to make the average down-filled coat? While there are ethical processes for gathering down, whereby ducks are not killed, many high street brands do not pay for this more humane process. However, as a 100% cruelty-free and vegan brand, Save The Duck (hence the name) has patented it’s synthetic down and uses recycled plastic bottles to create its outerwear pieces; their commitment to sustainability has led them to certify as a B Corp company.
“Protecting animal welfare is in our DNA. We respect the connection between all living beings by striving to avoid the use of any material that may have caused suffering or harm to any animal.”
The collections include coats, jackets, essential sneakers, and more recently introduced tees, shirts, and swimwear (swim for men and boys only). The sizing is pretty inclusive, ranging from an XS to XXXL, and garments range from streetwear to high-tech adventure items. As well as the brand’s key colors – a punchy red, royal blue, and creamy eggshell, there’s a lovely pink and purple palette and fun prints for kids.
“I love the whole vibe and the mission statement of Save The Duck.”

Their faux fur and faux sherpa range is gorgeous; for anyone who loves the feel of real fur but doesn’t want the guilt, this is for you. The textures feel so real – cozy, soft, and sleek – but everything is 00% animal-free. The same also goes for the limited collection of sneakers, which come in bold colors and a leather-effect material.
Every year, Save The Duck donates 1% of turnover to organizations that care for the planet. Shop the current collections here: www.savetheduck.it
