Carhartt WIP was founded in Europe in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, developing collections inspired by the authentic Carhartt workwear (founded in Detroit in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt). It reinterprets robust archetypes with contemporary cuts, durable fabrics, and essential palettes.
The style combines functionality and street influences, engaging with skate, music, and urban cultures. Comfortable fits, utility details, and construction quality define versatile and durable pieces, designed for timeless everyday use. The result is a coherent, authentic, and immediately recognizable wardrobe.
