The Northface vs Patagonia | Bonnes pris...

Wondery
About this episode

Nous sommes en 1970 : Hap Klopp vient de racheter The North Face, un magasin d’articles de ski et de randonnée. Mais il se rend compte que le sport outdoor est un marché de niche. Il va donc devoir faire plus que de créer de nouveaux équipements : il va devoir donner envie aux américains de les utiliser !

Et il n’est pas le seul à vouloir élargir sa cible et son marché : en voyage en Ecosse, Yvan Chouinard va faire une découverte qui va le pousser à transformer son petit business de matériel d’escalade en une marque de vêtements baptisée Patagonia.
