Behind Every Feather: Why RDS Matters in Your Orolay Down Jacket

Behind Every Feather: Why RDS Matters in Your Orolay Down Jacket

How Does RDS Work?

  • Ethical Sourcing
    Down is collected only after humane treatment—no live-plucking or force-feeding allowed.
  • Clean and Certified Processing
    Feathers are cleaned and handled in RDS-approved facilities to ensure purity and quality.
  • Full Traceability
    Every feather is tracked through a certified chain of custody and verified by independent audits.

 

From Farm to Fashion: A Transparent Journey

Transparency isn’t a buzzword—it’s built into every step of the RDS supply chain. Each certified feather can be traced back to its source, thanks to a strict chain-of-custody system. Third-party organizations like Control Union or IDFL audit these processes at multiple levels: farms, processors, and even brands like Orolay. That means when we say “responsibly sourced,” we’re showing customers the paper trail. And when customer wear our down jackets, they carry a piece of that verified story with them, feather by feather.

 

What It Means for Customers: The Comfort of Confidence

When customer choose an RDS-certified Orolay down jacket, they receive:

  • Peace of Mind
    Know that every feather is ethically sourced, with no live-plucking or force-feeding.
  • Trusted Quality
    Each feather is carefully cleaned, sorted, and inspected to meet high performance and hygiene standards.
  • Full Traceability
    The down in jacket can be traced all the way back to certified farms through a verified supply chain.
  • A Better Kind of Warmth
    One that doesn’t just protect against the cold, but aligns with your values and care for the world.

Whether you're trekking through snow-covered streets or simply heading to your favorite coffee shop, your Orolay jacket wraps you in more than warmth—it wraps you in a commitment to quality, ethics, and traceability. And that, we believe, is the kind of comfort that truly matters.
