URGENT UPDATE: The North Face Japan has just announced a groundbreaking collaboration with SASHIKO GALS, redefining the iconic 1992 Nuptse silhouette with a culturally rich twist. This hyper-limited collection will launch on Saturday, December 27, 2025, exclusively at The North Face ALTER in Harajuku, Tokyo.
This innovative partnership merges traditional Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge biotechnology, transforming outdoor gear into stunning “wearable art.” The centerpiece, the BP Nuptse Hanten, showcases a unique blend of the classic Nuptse design with elements of the traditional hanten, a historic winter coat. This blend of past and future is set to captivate fashion enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike.
The collection emphasizes sustainability, utilizing Brewed ProteinTM, a petroleum-free fiber developed by biotech innovators at Spiber. This breakthrough material signifies a major step towards eco-friendly fashion, aligning with modern consumer values.
Each piece, including the standout Nuptse Hanten Sashiko Jacket, is meticulously hand-stitched, ensuring that every garment is a one-of-a-kind artifact with its own unique “scars” and patterns. This careful craftsmanship not only preserves the rich heritage of Japanese hand-stitching but also elevates it to an art form that resonates with contemporary audiences.
In addition to the jacket, the collection features the BP Nuptse Down Sashiko Booties and heavyweight cotton tees, all reinforced with signature sashiko thread. These pieces not only serve as functional outdoor wear but also as statements of cultural significance.
The flagship BP Jacket will retail for ¥550,000 JPY, making this collection a must-have for serious collectors and fashion aficionados. This limited-edition series is poised to generate buzz, with fashion insiders eager to see the innovative blend of tradition and modernity.
This collaboration marks a significant moment for The North Face Japan, as it embraces sustainability while honoring Japanese craftsmanship. As the launch date approaches, anticipation is building.
What’s next? Fashion lovers and collectors should mark their calendars for December 27, 2025, to secure their piece of this unique collection at The North Face ALTER. With its limited availability, this collaboration is expected to sell out quickly.
Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting release unfolds. Don’t miss your chance to own a part of this innovative blend of art, culture, and sustainability!
