Real down
Functional garments with top quality genuine down filling impress with their lightness, softness, breathability and optimal heat regulation, and can adapt to any weather conditions. BOGNER only uses down and feathers that conform with animal welfare standards. Some of the down comes from certified breeding farms without force-feeding, and some is obtained as a by-product during food production. The animals are only plucked after slaughter.
Partially filled with real down
Functional garments with top quality genuine down partial fillings impress with their lightness, softness, breathability and optimal heat regulation, and can adapt to any weather conditions. BOGNER only uses down and feathers that conform with animal welfare standards. Some of the down comes from certified breeding farms without force-feeding, and some is obtained as a by-product during food production. The animals are only plucked after slaughter.
Down-blend
This product is filled with an innovative blend of water-repellent premium genuine down from certified farms and highly functional synthetic fibres. The genuine down is a by-product of the food industry, it is only plucked after the animals have been slaughtered and is free of fluorocarbons. The recycled, ultra-fine and permanently water-repellent synthetic fibres provide better overall insulation than pure genuine down filling. BOGNER is thus reducing its ecological footprint and increasing sustainability.

This nylon fibre comes from used fishing nets, fabric scraps and carpets and can be recycled as often as desired without any loss of quality. This contributes to the sensible recycling of materials, the sustainable use of non-renewable resources and the reduction of environmentally harmful emissions.
Organic Cotton
The cotton used for this product comes from controlled organic cultivation without the use of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers and defoliants. This improves soil quality in the long term and reduces water consumption. BOGNER is thus reducing its ecological footprint and increasing sustainability.

Fade-out finish
A special dyeing process gives this product its deliberate, casual “fade-out effect”. The used look, which intensifies after several washes, is intentional and gives the garment its unique character. We recommend not treating soiled areas locally and using mild detergent in the gentle cycle or wool programme. Caution: this product may discolour when worn and bleed when washed. Wash only with similar colours or separately.
Garment-dyed
This garment has been hand-dyed without chemical additives and is therefore unique. To prevent these natural colours from fading and discolouring, please avoid direct sunlight and contact with light-coloured materials. We recommend hand washing with mild detergents.
Brushed material
A special finish with a slightly roughened surface gives this product material its heat-regulating properties and a high level of insulation, as well as its particularly soft-looking appearance and comfortable feel.
-
Genuine leather
This product is made of high-quality genuine leather. Leather is a natural product and this may result in variations in surface texture, colour, thickness and appearance. Such variations are natural and give each product its unique character.
There are two types of leather: suede or nubuck (roughened surface) and nappa leather (smooth surface).
Care instructions
Suede initially secretes leather dust – a natural process. This can best be removed with a lint roller or a slightly damp cloth. Heavily used areas can be roughened up again with a crepe brush or a leather eraser. We recommend a leather eraser for nappa leather.
With heavy soiling, we recommend professional leather cleaning for both types of leather.
In order to enjoy the product for a long time, we recommend a leather impregnation before wearing for the first time, which should first be tested on an area that is not or not very visible.
Damp leather clothing should be dried at room temperature and not stored in a plastic bag.
To avoid discolouration, do not expose leather to heat or strong, prolonged sunlight. Friction may cause leather to stain light-coloured clothing and light-coloured car seats.
