Founded in San Francisco in 1968, The North Face specialises in outdoor clothing and equipment. Established by Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth ‘Hap’ Klopp, The North Face was inspired a hiking trip, taking its name from the north face of a mountain – the coldest and hardest part to climb.
Adventure is at the heart of The North Face, with its high-performing clothing being the go-to for athletes and hikers around the world. Its sleek, contemporary designs, meanwhile, make this brand as suitable for the city street as it is for the mountain top.
