Supreme x The North Face Leather Shoulder Bag
Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
The North Face shoulder bag is a compact crossbody with a single zippered main compartment, a front slip pocket, and an adjustable webbing strap with a quick-release buckle. The North Face was founded in San Francisco in 1966 as a mountaineering retailer and built its catalog around technical alpine gear; the FW18 leather capsule is a departure from that material lineage. The bag is constructed from waterproof cowhide leather with debossed tonal branding on the front panel and a color-matched interior lining. It was one of four pieces in the leather-focused capsule (alongside a backpack, a waist bag, and a mountain parka) and retailed at $328.
About The North Face
The North Face is an American outdoor apparel and equipment company founded in 1966 by Douglas and Susie Tompkins as a mountaineering retail store in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. The company introduced the Sierra down parka in 1968 and the geodesic Oval Intention tent in 1975, and its Nuptse down jacket, released in 1992, is named for the 7,861-meter Himalayan peak. The brand now produces the Summit Series, Steep Tech, and Denali fleece lines under VF Corporation ownership. Supreme and The North Face have run one of streetwear's longest ongoing collaborations, releasing seasonal capsules each spring and fall since 2007.
