Championing three decades of the iconic Himalayan Down Parka with a drop that’s both sustainable and refined, END and The North Face rejoin forces for the second ‘Remade’ capsule.
Initially debuting the first chapter of this collaborative story back in December of last year, the British retailer and outdoor-based powerhouse delivered a bespoke collection that celebrated sustainability, as well as undisputed heritage. Already rightfully establishing a reputation of creating garments that last a lifetime, The North Face is proving yet again that longevity is a core part of their ethos with a collection of reclaimed pieces. And what better piece to use than the adored Himalayan Down Parka?! Recognised as one of the Switzerland-based label’s most popular silhouettes for the past 30 years, this capsule honours the legacy with a durable edge.
Presenting a masterful fusion of sustainability and style, each segment of the seven-piece capsule transforms unrepairable products into a physical embodiment of both brands’ creative ethos. Crafted from The North Face’s signature black down-filled jackets, each garment reinterprets the iconic outdoor aesthetic with innovative, fashion-forward touches. Serving as the centrepiece of the collection, the Himalayan Down Parka is reimagined as a refined, streamlined garment while retaining its roots in mountaineering performance. This capsule deftly blends outdoor functionality with lifestyle sophistication, redefining adventure-ready apparel.
Spanning across three apparel pieces and four accessories, this experimental capsule is truly a work of art. Completely redesigned to don an entirely new type of steez, the iconic Parka sees its recognisable structure adapted into a popover down Hooded Jacket, Cargo Pant and versatile 2-in-1 Skirt. Additionally, the ‘Remade’ accessories continue to affirm the pioneering flair of the collection, featuring the Remade Tech Tie, Down & Fleece Beanie, Crossbody Bag and Down Shawl. Each produced in small quantities as per the ethical nature of the capsule, you’ll have to be quick if you want to cop.
Partnering with the charity Protect Our Winters UK, all proceeds earned from the capsule will be donated to help protect the environment through impactful climate action.
