The North Face Renewed: Meet the designers that keep product out of landfills

For this month’s virtual Mappy Hour, we're going behind the scenes with their Product Design Team, responsible for a collection of refurbished clothing known as: The North Face Renewed.
The team will dive into what a sustainable future for apparel looks like and how the initiative works to keep clothing out of landfills.
They'll also chat about The North Face Design Residency, a program created to educate designers on principles of circular design and engine behind the REMADE collection. They will discuss the challenge of creating design standards while creatively repairing damaged products and the process every North Face designer goes through during the design phase of product creation.
Not only will we get to see some of the one of a kind designs made during the residency but one lucky attendee will go home with their own REMADE sleeping bag jacket (featured in the header image!)

I buy ALL my Northface from Renewed so you guys are doing a great job! In fact, just received a jacket today and I love it- 2 more coming next week! This opens up Northface to those of us who can't shell out for full price at the stores!

Thanks for joining Jonathan!

Very interesting project. It's a pity I can't buy TNF renewed items, from Italy. Are you thinking to expand this refurbished items market, worldwide?

Why can’t you use the recycle belly bands on the regular north face website?

This is an interesting question Nina! We'll make sure it's passed on to the North Face design team.
