North Face Old Jackets Became New Bags

The North Face REMADE: Built to Be Reborn

Sustainability isn’t just about using new “green” materials; it’s about honoring the life and craftsmanship of the gear that has already seen the world. We are incredibly proud to work with The North Face REMADE—a program dedicated to keeping premium apparel in the mountains and out of the landfill.

We’ve taken worn, hand-repaired jackets and given them a second life as durable, functional accessories. This isn’t just recycling; it’s a meticulous transformation process.

The Journey of a REMADE Jacket

North Face REMADE jacket for upcycling process by Ecologic Designs

Our production photos capture the heart of this project. Every jacket arrives with a history—scuffs from a trail, a patch from a previous adventure. Our process ensures that history is preserved while the utility is reinvented:

  1. Inspection & Certification: Every garment is cleaned and factory-certified to meet the high standards of The North Face refurbished apparel.

  2. Hand-Repaired Craftsmanship: We lean into the unique character of each piece. As the labels say: “This garment was hand-repaired, making it both unique and one of a kind.”

  3. Deconstruction to Reconstruction: We carefully dismantle the original jackets to harvest the most durable panels, zippers, and toggles to create:

    • The REMADE Tote Bag: A spacious, heavy-duty carryall that retains the technical feel of the original outerwear.

    • The Canister Travel Kit: The perfect technical pouch for organized travel, built from high-performance materials.

A Shared Mission for the Environment

While our focus is on the REMADE collection, this work is part of a larger commitment to environmental protection.

Whether it’s a high-performance jacket from the REMADE program or a city-spanning billboard, we believe that quality gear deserves a second chapter. When you carry a piece from the North Face REMADE collection, you aren’t just carrying a bag—you’re carrying a story of resilience and renewal.
