THE NORTH FACE
THE NORTH FACE - THE LABEL FOR ON THE ROAD
When you hear the brand name The North Face most people immediately think of mountains, hiking, nature and freedom. But only a few know that the label was founded in San Francisco - so beach instead of mountains - by Douglas Tompkins in 1966. It started out as a mountaineering school with an additional shop for mountaineering equipment, but over the years it has developed into a specialist for outdoor clothing. In the 1960s, the company was particularly popular with nature-loving outdoor enthusiasts. It was only with the expansion in the 80s towards sportswear for alpine disciplines that other groups also became aware of the outdoor outfitter. The mountain sports school with shop has now become the world market leader for outdoor clothing. In addition, The North Face's collections now also include hard-wearing sportswear for men, women and kids, as well as numerous accessories and equipment.
