Established in Seattle in 1974, Crescent Down Works specialises in down vests. The label’s founder, Anne Michelson, was once hired by premium outerwear brand Eddie Bauer to set up its first down-testing laboratory. Michelson used her specialities to start her own business, which has since then produced a sophisticated range of made-to-order outerwear. Now helmed by Michelson’s daughter Annie, each of the label’s pieces is handcrafted by a team of skilled seamstresses in the brand’s Seattle atelier.
