The North Face’s ‘Remade’ series redefines gorpcore with up-cycled pieces that celebrate sustainability and creativity.

The North Face is pushing the boundaries of sustainability with its groundbreaking Remade initiative, a circular fashion project that transforms worn-out gear into innovative, one-of-a-kind pieces. Spearheaded by Senior Design Manager Tara Shrestha, the collection embodies the spirit of gorpcore, taking outdoor culture to new heights while addressing the pressing issue of waste in the fashion industry.

 

At the heart of Remade lies a commitment to craftsmanship and storytelling. Each item in this striking capsule – from reimagined tech fleece hoodies crafted from well-loved Denali fleeces to unique chalk bags made from damaged tents – reflects a vivid narrative woven into every stitch. The meticulous process highlights the artistry of The North Face’s in-house design team, who are breathing new life into products deemed unrepairable.

 

This spring, the launch of the climbing-inspired collection coincides with an upcycling workshop hosted at The North Face’s Regent St. store on 10th April. Participants can explore a selection of renewed products, engage in hands-on workshops to create bespoke pieces, and access a free repair station, encouraging a community ethos centred around sustainability and creativity.

 

In a nod to the brand’s legacy, the collection not only revitalises old gear but also contributes to meaningful causes. Proceeds will support Protect Our Winters, a climate advocacy group, reinforcing The North Face’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.

 

As Tara emphasises, the journey through Remade is transformative for both designers and consumers, challenging conventional thinking and inspiring fresh perspectives. The North Face invites adventurers and fashion enthusiasts alike to embrace the beauty of imperfection and the potential for renewal. With a promise to protect the planet, each unique piece stands as a testament to the brand’s ethos: great gear is meant to last, and every tear is an opportunity for reinvention.
