The Save The Duck collection has a deeper meaning

Richardson’s seven elements capsule collection works with certified fashion brand, Save The Duck. They are known to be the best performers in social and sustainable issues that have made them the perfect partner for this collaboration. 

With COMPOUND, a brand that is driven by cultural authenticity, and Save The Duck, a brand committed to high social and environmental standards, this collection release should be something to look forward to.

It can bring both the importance of culture and sustainability to a consumer which is something great.


So what exactly is in the Save The Duck capsule collection?

Save The Duck and The Compound Capsule Collection

The seven-element Save The Duck capsule collection includes a pro-tech long parka jacket in black and yellow, a pro-tech short jacket, a Pro-tech hat/mask, pro-Tech gloves, and three graphic hoodies.


Four elements… No, seven actually

Aside from the four usual elements of fire, water, earth, and air, the collection emphasizes that within ancient civilization, wood, metal, and ether were also considered natural elements as well.

COMPOUND acknowledges these seven elements that strengthen, defend, and allow life to flourish. This new collection reminds all the fundamentals of life.

This limited winter collection will be released on December 7 and at select US retailers, and online via Compound and via Save The Duck which is just in time for the holidays and gift-giving!
