A Century of Innovation and Sustainability in Down Craftsmanship

Established in 1916, Minardi Piume has more than a century of experience in crafting premium goose and duck down, primarily sourced from European countries. Our centennial expertise is at the heart of our production of high-performance natural fillings Made in Italy.

In recent years, we made significant investments to expand our production lines specifically dedicated to upcycling down from post-consumer products. Our ultimate goal is to become the leading European hub for recycled down and feathers, building a circolar economy along with our partners.

At Minardi Piume, our pursuit of excellence is relentless. Throughout the years, we've consistently focused on research, pushing boundaries to ensure quality, sustainability, and innovation remain at the forefront of everything we do.

Recycling and Sustainability

We stand as the sole company in Italy with the capability to internally recycle down, an incredibly sustainable material, thanks to its potential to be recycled endlessly. Recently, we've made a significant leap in our commitment to sustainability by introducing Italy's first machine specifically designed to recycle down from jackets. We are proud to introduce you to P.U.R.E.^® - our branded recycled down, certified and Made in Italy.
