THE NORTH FACE

The North Face, founded in 1966 in San Francisco, was originally a brand for mountaineers. It quickly grew into one of the world’s leading outdoor gear brands, known for backpacks, tents, and its iconic jackets. The logo itself, inspired by Half Dome in Yosemite, symbolizes exploration and resilience.
While rooted in outdoor adventure, The North Face also became a streetwear icon. In the 1990s, its puffer jackets were adopted by hip-hop culture and later by hypebeasts worldwide. Collabs with Supreme, Gucci, and other big names cemented its crossover from trails to catwalks. The brand represents durability, adventure, and authenticity, but also luxury and hype.
A stereotypically iconic brand in Melbourne, North Face offers versatility and comfort that can be worn snowboarding, camping, or simply keep warm. Vintage Denali fleeces and Nuptse puffers are especially sought after in thrift culture. The North Face is about adventure spirit meeting urban style - practical, timeless, and effortlessly cool.
