The North Face®, a subsidiary of VF Corporation, was founded in 1966.

Our headquarters is located in California, US, in a LEED certified

energy-saving and environmentally-friendly industrial park. The North

Face offers the most technically advanced products in the market to

accomplished climbers, mountaineers, snowsport athletes and explorers.

The brand name "The North Face®" is derived from the North Slope, which

refers to the coldest slope of a mountain; the one that is the most

difficult to climb. The logo is based on the Half Dome which is a

mountain peak found in the Yosemite National Park in California.

Therefore the "North Face" refers to the outdoor spirit of exploration

that one must have to conquer the toughest terrains. The North Face®

adopted a new slogan - "Never Stop Exploring" in 1997 - this has since

become the essence of our brand spirit. Our products satisfy all outdoor

requirements for exploring the world and challenging the human

potential to the limits. The brand is also dedicated to protecting the

outdoor environment. We have maintained our goal of sustainability and

minimizing all man-made impact on nature. For more information, please

accessories for serious outdoor adventurers, global trekkers, and

sophisticated urbanites who have one thing in common: they seek out,

invest in, use, and wear the best.
