Downjacket Paradise
What do you need to get you through the dark, cold winter? The answer is a fabulously snug down jacket with our exotic “Paradise” pattern. It’s not “just” practical outdoor clothing for cold weather and not “just” super environmentally-friendly because it is made from recycled down and recycled fabric. When you see its unique design and burst of colour, you simply can’t help feeling happy! Passionate design in all its splendour gets us through the winter.
Recycled down – how it’s made:
- According to French tradition, old feather down quilts need replacing regularly. Our suppliers in France take care of these quilts.
- They’re sorted into different categories in the French factory. No less than 97% can be reused. The fabric from the quilts is also reused as thick textile insulation in other products.
- The down is then washed and sterilised in Hungary. The experts here use a process to ensure that no recycled down gets mixed with new down.
To ensure your complete satisfaction, we recommend that you check your measurements against our sizing chart.
Measuring advice:
- Measure directly against your skin without tightening the tape measure around your body.
BUST: Measure your bust around the fullest part, ideally wearing your favourite bra.
WAIST: Measure your waist around the smallest part (your natural waistline).
HIPS: Measure your hips around the fullest part of your bottom.

Our fit
We like mixing figure-fit with more generously cut fashion. That's why we have four different types of tailoring. You'll find information on the different types of fit in the detailed descriptions of each item. The choice of material also influences the amount of movement allowed by a garment. Knits and jersey-knits have more give in them than woven, less stretchy materials. That's why our weaves are often more generously tailored. For you to be as happy as possible with your purchases, we recommend that you spend a few moments taking your measurements and comparing them with our size chart.
Figure-fit
The garment is close fitting, with a maximum of 6 cm room for movement around the bust and maximum 3 cm around the hips.
Standard fit
The garment has 7-16 cm room for movement around the bust and 4-12 cm around the hips.
Generous fit
A free and easy fit with at least 17 cm room for movement around the bust and 13 cm or more around the hips.
Extra generous fit
Lots of room for movement, 31 cm or more around the bust.

Gudrun Sjödén’s own ecolabel
Next to each garment representing an eco-friendly choice, you’ll now be seeing the following symbols, in a system we call Gudrun’s Good Guide:
Gudrun’s Good Fibres
These items are made entirely or partly from a material grown and produced with sustainability in mind. The fibres we categorise as a good environmental option are organically grown, recycled, naturally retted flax, Tencel® lyocell, Lenzing Modal®, silk, alpaca, vegetable tanned and dyed leather along with wood and rubber.

These items are sold in aid of various charitable causes.
Gudrun’s Good Guide
– A whole collection to take pride in.
We aim to have as many of our products as possible produced in an environmentally-friendly way, not just a limited and exclusive line. Over the decades, environmental awareness has evolved and gone in and out of fashion. From the 80s when eco-friendliness was tentative and virtually impossible, through the 90s when we launched our first organic collection, to today when green choices are obvious.
In the forest of eco-labelling systems, we felt that having our own label would make it easier for our customers to find their way around our collections. So, in 2008 we introduced our own eco-labelling system, which we called our Leaves label, and in 2017 we will be updating our labelling system and Gudrun’s Good Guide.
