SEATTLE, Wash. (March 10, 2021)– Filson and Ducks Unlimited (DU), two iconic American heritage brands, today announced a new assortment of limited edition co-branded products. The new Filson x Ducks Unlimited luggage and apparel pieces are an expansion of last year’s partnership and accompanying product collection. All products feature DU’s licensed trademark and proceeds will support Ducks Unlimited’s conservation efforts.
“Filson is committed to supporting organizations like Ducks Unlimited that advocate for the protection of wildlife and the preservation of natural habitats,” said Doug Thielen, director of marketing at Filson. “Following the success of the initial Ducks Unlimited collection, we’re excited to add new products to the line as part of our ongoing DU partnership supporting waterfowl conservation efforts nationwide.”
