“THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL” has combined the essence of the popular Japanese select shop “nanamica” into the prestigious American outdoor brand “THE NORTH FACE”. We have picked up 2 of the best items from this season’s collaboration we think you should check out.

A mesh backpack with a novel camouflage-flavored print.

Botanical Print Mesh Day Pack　¥24200

The first item we recommend is a cool daypack built with polyester mesh. Based on a model from the 70’s, the usability has been improved by updating the small details. For the graphics, they have adopted the work of print artist Kenta Okawara, who expresses the plants of Yosemite National Park in a camouflage style.

A vest that with vintage style fading.

Ripstop Field Vest　¥26400

Next up is a field vest made with ripstop fabric woven from a blend of organic cotton and recycled nylon. The tanned colors typical of vintage outdoor wear are achieved through skillful fading, and the use of pockets derived from the mountain parka provides a excellent storage capacity.

Ripstop Field Vest　¥26400

Both of these hot new items for summer are great both for outdoor and city living. The main theme for this seasons bespoke collection is Heart of the Wind and these items symbolize this perfectly.
