FASHION WITH A CONSCIENCE
Text by: Quartz Co.
At Quartz Co., sustainability is not an afterthought — it’s at the core of every decision we make. From material sourcing to design, manufacturing, repair, and donation, we act responsibly to protect both people and planet.
Ethical Insulation & Responsible Sourcing
Ethical Down
Our down-insulated jackets are filled with down, a byproduct of the food industry, certified under the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). Every coat is traceable through TrackMyDown.com
Recycled high-performance alternatives
For vegan options, we offer PRIMALOFT® and ISOSOFT® recycled polyester. These alternatives deliver warmth, loft, and moisture resistance — with no compromise.
Eco-certified recycled textiles
All our fabrics are certified by the Global Recycled Standard, Bluesign®, and / or OEKO-TEX®. Options like SUPER SHINY®, Wool Like 2L®, Bomber Twill 2L®, Pertex® Quantum, Super Light®, and Super Matte® are crafted from recycled nylon or polyester and treated with DWR.
Made Locally, Made Responsibly
Designed and made in Montreal
All signature Heritage coats – our best-sellers made for almost a decade –are crafted in Quartz Co.’s factory in Montreal. Local production ensures close oversight of quality, and supports Canadian artisans.
Transparent & Ethical Supply Chain
When production is international, partners adhere to Quartz Co.’s strict standards: fair labor, safe work conditions, BSCI and WRAP certifications. A vertical, localized approach helps maintain the same commitment to ethics and transparency everywhere our garments are made.
Circularity: Repair, Reuse, Recycle
Lifetime warranty & repairs
Every Quartz Co. coat comes with a lifetime warranty covering material and workmanship defects. Our repair program extends the life of your coat, reducing waste and strengthening your bond with it.
Care & education
Our jackets are machine-washable at home. Care guides help preserve insulation and water repellency, extending lifespan and minimizing impact.

Our Mile End boutique is a permanent donation hub supporting homeless
and at-risk youth through the nonprofit Dans la rue. Clean, good-quality coats of any brand can be dropped off year-round for redistribution to those in need.
