The North Face and Cecilie Bahnsen are once again joining forces to bring back their highly anticipated Spring/Summer 2025 collection. This revival introduces a fresh, exclusive taupe green hue to their signature Audrey Base Camp Duffel and Maria Base Camp Clutch, marking a significant addition to their collaborative portfolio. Originally unveiled during Paris Fashion Week, this partnership exemplifies a unique blend of Bahnsen’s refined, feminine aesthetics and The North Face’s renowned technical functionality, creating pieces that are both stylish and durable.
A highlight of this re-release is the Audrey Base Camp Duffel, a reimagined version of The North Face’s classic expedition bag. Crafted from resilient, water-resistant Base Camp material with reinforced stitching, it features a spacious main compartment, a secure-zip pocket, and an end-cap pouch for organized storage. Its design is enhanced with practical elements like removable alpine-cut shoulder straps and dual side handles for versatile carrying. Adding an unexpected touch of elegance, the duffel is adorned with delicate 3D floral embroidery and flower-shaped cord pulls, bridging the gap between rugged utility and high fashion. Complementing the duffel, the Maria Base Camp Clutch offers a more compact, yet equally charming, option. This small carryall maintains the technical integrity of its larger counterpart with an adjustable crossbody strap, twin haul handles, a zippered D-flap opening, and an internal pocket, all while being exquisitely decorated with intricate 3D floral appliqués. Each clutch is presented with a custom co-branded dust bag and a miniature Base Camp duffel keychain, making it a perfect accessory for both city life and outdoor adventures.
These exclusive taupe green items will be available starting September 12, 2025, at select The North Face locations worldwide, including a dedicated concept store in Hong Kong’s K11 Art Mall. The collection’s pricing ranges from $250 to $400 USD, or $2,298 to $3,898 HKD, reflecting the premium quality and unique design of these collaborative pieces. This collection reinforces the idea that true innovation often comes from combining seemingly disparate elements, proving that beauty and practicality can coexist harmoniously.
