Gucci x The North Face collab is probably the best of the year
The collaboration between The North Face and Gucci is a logo enthusiast’s dream. The North Face's quarter circle stamp, which includes Gucci's iconic green-red-green stripe can be seen on the coats, jackets and windbreakers.
The collaboration, which was first teased in September, was officially released on December 22. The images, videos and content for TikTok show a group of hikers camping by lakes and enjoying an outdoors vacation.
The outerwear, including goose-down feather padded coats and bomber jackets, are based on The North Face designs from the 1970s. The collection includes T-shirts, sweatshirts and jackets with the Gucci x The North Face logo.
One of the highlights of the collection is a co-branded hiking boot in brown, black and cream with a Goodyear-weted sole, rope-like laces and the logo on the side.
The luggage items contain ECONYL, a nylon fabric made from regenerated materials that can also be recycled and recreated. For this, Gucci and The North Face are introducing eight new graphic patterns based on either Gucci House motifs or the collection’s logo.
The collection will be available at selected Gucci stores in China. Some of the pieces will be available at https://www.gucci.com/uk/en_gb/.
