Some of the best offerings from The North Face come courtesy of its Purple Label, and its latest release only reinforces the acclaim. The Japanese licensee has introduced two tote bags in a variety of neutral tones, each boasting stain, scuff, and moisture resistance.
Any product from TNF’s Purple Label, which operates independently of the larger American brand and is overseen by designers at Nepenthes, is considered a grail not just because of its functional design but also because scarcity. With the exception of a deal that lasted two years and has since expired, the Purple Label isn’t available in the United States. Anyone wanting to secure the Japanese goods has to do so via a proxy service, but the hoops required to jump through are absolutely worth it.
