CARHARTT WIP
WORKWEAR MEETS STREETWEAR
Carhartt Work In Progress (Carhartt WIP) was founded in 1994 by Edwin Faeh and is a modern evolution of the traditional workwear brand Carhartt. While Carhartt is known for durable work clothing, Carhartt WIP adapts these classics and combines them with influences from various subcultures.
Since the opening of the first store in 1997 in London, Carhartt WIP has established itself worldwide and now operates over 80 stores. With its own skateboard team, a music department, and the support of numerous artists, the brand shows its close connection to the creative scene. Regular collaborations with other brands and artists like A.P.C., Nike, and Motown underscore this creative openness and enthusiasm for innovation.
Carhartt WIP also places great importance on ethical business practices. Its own code of conduct is based on international labor standards and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Carhartt WIP works closely with partners and suppliers who are also committed to improving social and ecological practices.

HOW DOES CARHARTT WIP FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY?
Carhartt WIP remains true to its long tradition of responsible corporate management. Since its founding in 1889 by Hamilton Carhartt, the brand has focused on fair working conditions and durable materials. Today, Carhartt WIP combines these values with modern demands for sustainability and ethical production. Long-standing partnerships with international suppliers and regular quality controls ensure that working conditions throughout the supply chain meet the brand's high standards.
A central component of the sustainable corporate philosophy is the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), with which Carhartt WIP aims to ensure that all cotton materials used come from sustainable sources. Furthermore, the brand has removed all PFCs from production since 2019 and continuously works to regulate chemicals in textile production. Regarding animal products, Carhartt WIP also sets an example: no real fur, mohair, or angora is used, and for wool, it is ensured that it either meets the Responsible Wool Standard or is replaced by animal-free alternatives. With this comprehensive commitment, Carhartt WIP shows that style and sustainability do not have to be mutually exclusive.
