VF Corp. will take over the distribution of The North Face in China from Youngone, effective April 1. VF will also gain control of TNF’s stores in the country. Youngone is credited as having built up the label from nothing in China. Today sales of the brand are reportedly increasing across all categories and price ranges. The turnover generated is almost entirely generated through a network of 50 franchised doors as well as 28 company-owned stores in the country.
