The North Face and Online Ceramics have taken the world of outdoor wear by storm with their recent collab project. Channeling a unique fusion of outdoor heritage and playful aesthetics, this partnership aims to reimagine outdoor wear with a fashion-forward dimension.
At the heart of this collaboration is the shared approach of "exploration without compromise". Both brands are fiercely committed to sustainability and this ethos shines through in their joint collection. This resonates deeply with The North Face's brand motto, "Never Stop Exploring," and reminds us that exploration should not come at the cost of our precious environment.
This collaboration sees the use of sustainable materials such as recycled fabrics and FlashDry-XD™ fabrics. This not only highlights the brands’ commitment to sustainability but also ensures a focus on performance. With moisture management, abrasion resistance, and UPF 50+ protection, the collection stands firm on the brands’ performance ethos.
Inspired by 1960s California climb culture, the collection features apparel and equipment designed for camping and outdoor use. A 1995 Polartec® Denali, Windjammer, Brimmer Hat, Basecamp Box, and packable Polartec® Blanket stand out amidst the colorful graphics and messages.
The North Face and Online Ceramics are set to debut their joint collection later this year, with a '60s-inspired follow-up planned for summer 2023. Their offerings balance retro aesthetics with modern functionality – creating versatile outdoor essentials that don’t compromise on style. Unique features such as the snail and Star Person screen print seen on the t-shirts add a unique design appeal and are representative of the free-spirited nature of camping in the 1960s.
Sites like Kith.com have been instrumental in maximizing shopping satisfaction by ensuring that customers retain their selected items even if they're redirected to other pages. This allows customers to continue shopping without the fear of losing their selections. It is such user-friendly features that make the entire shopping experience a seamless one and ensure customer loyalty.
