Real eiderdown is one of the warmest natural fibers you can find, but it doesn't come cheap. And an eiderdown double duvet could cost you over $8,000. Harvested from the nest of eider ducks found wild in Iceland, collecting a kilo of this fluffy material isn't easy, and only 4 metric tons are produced worldwide each year. So what makes eiderdown so expensive?
Eiderdown farmers across Iceland will harvest this down either by taking small amounts from each nest or waiting for the birds to disappear completely before collecting.The eiderdown is a natural product, and when the eider duck leaves the nest, they leave the down, and so if we would not take the down, it would just blow away and be useless.While this product is natural and ethically harvested, it's not particularly practical to source.
Then it goes through multiple specially made machines, each one sorting more and more pieces from the down. A larger spinning machine separates the outer feathers, but the only way to make sure every single one of these feathers is removed is by hand.After cleaning eiderdown in the machines, we have to clean the eiderdown by hand, and it takes about four or five hours for experienced person to pick 1 kilo.
