Carhartt WIP was established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, initially to serve as the exclusive distributor and licensee of Carhartt products in Europe. Since then, starting from the parent brand’s workwear, it has developed its own collections for European fashion, skateboarding, music, and other subcultures, with activities that emphasize collaboration with communities. Building on the parent brand’s durability and functionality, it has established recognition in the streetwear field through product designs that reinterpret fit, materials, and colors, as well as through a wide range of collaborations. Since opening its first London store in 1997, it has expanded its directly operated store network around the world and also runs its own cultural programs, including a skate team, a music division, and publications.
