Company Profile

VF today runs a focused portfolio led by The North Face, Vans and Timberland, with JanSport, Eastpak, Napapijri, Smartwool and Icebreaker among its other brands, under chief executive Bracken Darrell (in the role since 2023). The group has been deliberately reshaped: Lee, Wrangler and the VF Outlet business were spun off as Kontoor Brands in May 2019; the occupational workwear brands were sold in 2021; Supreme was sold to EssilorLuxottica in a sale completed October 1, 2024; and Dickies was sold to Bluestar Alliance for $600 million in a sale completed November 12, 2025. The fuller brand-by-brand record this directory kept of the old, larger VF is on the history page linked below. The shop box on this page covers products of VF's consumer brands, which both marketplaces carry.

Over the years, VF has built a foundation for sustainable, long term success, based on its diversity, a culture that is perpetually driven to succeed and its ability to manage large-scale complexity. Fast and flexible, VF is able to leverage its highly diversified global supply chain as it continuously expands its reach around the world, with expertise in both the art and science of apparel.

VF's strategy begins with a passion for its products and a deep understanding of its consumers - a method the company calls the Art and Science of apparel. Its rigorous methodology combines data-driven insights, expert execution and some of the most creative minds in the industry, producing new products that strengthen the bond between consumers and their brands.
