The North Face introduces The Khumbu Pack

Inspired by Nepal, the Kingdom of the exploring community

The North Face Khumbu Pack is here; the collection takes it name from the Khumbu valley in Nepal, as it was inspired by the bright beautiful colours of the prayer flags commonly found in the Himalayan region. The range embodies The North Face’s mantra for its lifestyle ranges – inspired by the mountains, made for the city.

The Khumbu Pack features iconic items such as the Base Camp Duffel, 1990 Mountain Q jacket and short-sleeved Fine Tee, as well as relative new-comers, such as the Base Camp sliders and Raglan Red Box hoodie, all in a variety of bright and vivid colours that make up the Himalayan prayer flags – blue, white, red, green and yellow.

Often hung along mountain ridges and peaks in the Himalayas, prayer flags are said to bless the landscape around them, and carry prayers on the wind, while the bright colours represent fire, water and earth.

The pack was aptly shot on the streets of Kathmandu, released in a new lookbook today, showcasing where the inspiration for the collection was born. A region valued greatly by The North Face and the climbing community, this range is a fitting tribute, designed for the modern day urban explorer.

Available in both men’s and women’s styles, the Khumbu Pack is available now at www.thenorthface.co.uk and selected The North Face® stores. Follow @thenorthfaceuk / @thenorthfacede / @thenorthface for news on further product drops from the brand.
