Damm…it’s like that North Face?? Just holla at Leroy Jenkins. Don’t mess up your Purple label run.

Best known for its classically-styled technical outerwear, The North Face Purple Label has kept things much simpler in the bag department. Often stressing vintage styles and shapes, the collection boasts some interesting offerings for the 2010 spring collection. A floral pattern is seen on this Medium Day Pack which is available now through nanamica.

There was a time where a certain type of person wore a vest. You were either cool, tuff, fly or all of the above. Last night at Philipe I saw this marshmallow character rocking a vest. SMFH… Chumps please don’t ruin the down vest. I beg you.

Quintessential outdoors label The North Face team up with Junya Wantanabe’s COMME des GARCONS MAN on a new down vest for the Holidays. The piece features a simple design with the usual Wantanabe design aesthetic accented with a premium leather yoke and asymmetrical zipper pockets.

takes me back to grade school.

The North Face Purple Label is a line that is exclusive to Japan. Unlike many brands that have tried to translate their technical wear into causal wear, The North Face Purple Label actually does it quite successfully without sacrificing too much from The North Face’s roots which is making gear for the outdoors. Here is a look at two new items from The Purple Label collection which include a backpack and a messenger bag. Both feature a green/off-white pattern. The bags are now available at Atmos Tokyo.

Face & Lo….from head to toe! Who got the props.

The North Face continues their collaboration alongside Taylor Design, emphasizing their design efforts with a more colorful approach compared to the monotone offerings previously seen back in October. The Northern California-based outdoors company once again implements their specialty in mountaineering innovation throughout the lineup. The colorful pieces consist of Gore-Tex infused jackets, two-tone down vests and a premium collection of t-shirts bearing the iconic The North Face logo.
