About the original
The North Face Base Camp Duffel in the Small size is a 50-liter travel bag built from 1000-denier TPE-laminated polyester with a PVC-coated fabric underside, a D-shaped main zipper, interior mesh pocket, daisy-chain lash points, and alpine-cut removable shoulder straps that convert to a backpack carry. The Base Camp Duffel has been a North Face catalog staple since its 1979 introduction and is produced across six sizes from XS to XXL. The North Face was founded in San Francisco in 1966. The SS21 Supreme edition adds an all-over printed stud pattern across the exterior with co-branded logos on the front, rear, and side panels.
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.
