North Face Purple Label

I throughly dislike posting regurgitated blogged news items but every so often one really grasps my attention. Any news on North Face Purple Label is usually very interesting, mainly because its exclusively Japanese and therefore in a way shrouded in mystery, but also as it looks like very nice stuff. The most recent pieces of the collection take inspiration from Americana hunting gear. With all 3 jackets made with 65-35 material, the red hunting-like coat with elbow patches and brown coloured collar looks marvelous. With a possible trip to the East potentially in the offing I know exactly what will be at the top of my wishlist.

The North Face Purple Label - Old Kilim.

I've been meaning to pick up a Purple Label rucksack for a long time, the solid colour releases are an easy pass for me as similar leather based vintage rucksacks can be picked up from eBay for around $50, however the more interesting designs always catch my eye. Taking inspiration from tapestry-woven rugs from the middle east this Purple Label release titled "Old Kilim" will definitely make me get my act together and contact a Japanese proxy ASAP.
