The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
The North Face was founded in 1966 in San Francisco. Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth "Hap" Klopp built it on climbing gear. They made backpacks first, then expanded to tents and jackets. The brand became famous for the Mountain Jacket, their signature piece. Cold-weather performance defined their reputation early on. Today they operate globally under VF Corporation's ownership. Mountain climbers and urban explorers both wear their gear. North Face ranks second in Fashion and Footwear across 6649 tracked brands. They are known for expedition equipment and winter apparel. The brand appears in every major retail market now. Their name signals durability and tested performance in extreme conditions.
