Black Friday: 10 down jackets on sale at bargain prices for the Black Week

If the official Black Friday is Friday 25 November, the promotions and discounts have already begun: it’s Black Week, until 28 November. The opportunity to break out for very warm and fluffy duvets.

Officially, Black Friday is Friday November 25th. In fact, it starts on Friday 18 November and will end on Monday 28 November with Cyber Monday. That’s why it happens more and more often to come across the expression Black Week to designate this whole period of promotions at the end of November, when merchants publish increasingly attractive offers. And since the fashion industry is also cutting its prices, it makes some big pieces more affordable to cherish for years, like a good, warm, fluffy duvet.

How to choose a duvet with ethical or synthetic feathers

It’s up to you to decide whether you prefer to opt for real or synthetic down. To ensure that a part was made without an animal being plucked alive, certain certifications can be illuminating indicators, such as the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), co-founded in 2014 by NGO Textile Exchange or the Global Traceable Down Standard (Global TDS) co-founded in 2015 by certification body NSF International. Otherwise, choosing a synthetic duvet avoids having to ask questions about animal suffering.
