The Napapijri journey starts in 1987 in the shadow of Europe’s highest peak,
the Monte Bianco, where an Italian manufacturer of travel bags introduced a
new sensibility to outdoor apparel, combining innovative materials with
close attention to style. Today, the premium casual wear brand looks back to
the great expeditions of the last century and the intrepid explorers who
transformed their lives into unique journeys that inspired mankind. Napapijri
is a variation of the Finnish word for the Arctic Circle and the logo, half
positive and half negative, expresses the North and South Poles in graphic
form. The Norwegian flag is closely linked to the brand's DNA, representing
Europe’s northernmost country, the birthplace of some of the great
explorers of the 20th century as well as a land of extreme conditions and
magnificent landscapes.
