Carhartt WIP Lands in Johor Bahru with a Bold, Culture-Driven Space
Carhartt WIPhas officially opened the doors to its third Malaysian location, this time in the thriving southern city of Johor Bahru. Located on the ground floor of The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey, the 1,819-square-foot store quietly made its debut. The new space quickly became a magnet for design fans and streetwear loyalists alike, offering a seamless blend of rugged workwear heritage and contemporary industrial aesthetic. The store was designed by Milan-based Andrea Caputo Studio & Salomée Faeh. Their vision brought clean lines, concrete tones, and understated sophistication to the forefront—balancing functionality with visual depth. A branded carpet by AC Studio and a handmade Carhartt logo designed by German artist Pietro Sanguinetti added subtle layers of identity, elevating the store beyond retail and into a space that reflects the brand's global point of view. To mark the opening, Carhartt WIP launched an exclusive capsule that sold out fast. Featuring the iconic Detroit Jacket and two short-sleeved tees inspired by the traditional Wau Johor kite, the collection anchored the brand to its Malaysian setting in a thoughtful and localized way. Visitors were also treated to 'MERAK-07,' a site-specific lighting installation by local artist Jun Ong. His work reinterpreted the Wau through a futuristic lens—using light and material interplay to bridge tradition and innovation. This latest chapter in Carhartt WIP's expansion speaks to its long-standing ability to straddle local cultures and global subcultures. Since its founding in 1994, the brand has adapted the workwear DNA of its American predecessor into something altogether new—an aesthetic informed as much by hip-hop, skateboarding, and techno as it is by function-first design. As of June, the Johor Bahru store has already become more a creative hub—a space that connects community, craft, and culture in equal parts. It's clear that Carhartt WIP continues to build spaces that resonate far beyond the sales floor. Visit the officialCARHARTT WIP MALAYSIA SITEfor more info.

Workwear meets fashion: Carhartt WIP launches Paris pop-up spotlighting iconic 'Heart' logo
Carhartt WIP, the lifestyle-driven European offshoot of American workwear brand Carhartt, has opened a limited-time pop-up inside Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées in Paris. Located on the first floor, the space will remain open through June 30, offering visitors a bold visual showcase centered around the brand's distinctive 'Heart' logo. The pop-up highlights a modern reinterpretation of Carhartt's original branding from the 1920s, bringing the 'Heart' emblem to life through a curated selection of styles from the Spring/Summer 2025 and Pre-Fall 2025 collections. The logo appears across a range of pieces in the Drewe, Furoshiki, Arcan, and Heart II Hartt lines. Designed as an immersive experience, the space incorporates industrial elements such as aluminum structures, red canvas, and custom-printed carpeting—echoing the brand's signature utilitarian aesthetic. This initiative is part of Carhartt WIP's global retail expansion strategy. The brand recently debuted a hybrid café-store concept in New York at Nordstrom, combining branded design with a dedicated coffee bar under the WIP name. In Munich, it opened a second store in the city's Glockenbachviertel district—a 120-square-meter space featuring interiors inspired by traditional Bavarian architecture. Meanwhile, several Carhartt WIP stores in France have been redesigned to reflect a more premium retail concept aligned with the label's evolving identity. While many fashion brands navigate an unpredictable market, Carhartt WIP has quietly emerged as a rare example of consistent growth. Its success reflects a clear, long-term strategy to evolve the American workwear legacy into a modern, lifestyle-driven brand with global appeal. The brand is operated by Work in Progress, founded in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, which holds the exclusive global license to develop Carhartt outside the United States. Carhartt WIP first gained momentum in Europe by reimagining classic workwear through a street-culture lens—drawing from hip-hop, rock, and skateboarding. Since then, it has teamed up with high-end labels such as Sacai, Junya Watanabe, and A.P.C., while growing a global retail network of more than 100 stores across Europe, Asia, and the United States. Carhartt WIP has moved into a significantly larger headquarters in Paris' 10th arrondissement as part of its continued growth. The new space reflects the brand's identity—located near Place de la Bastille, an area long associated with music and skate culture in the French capital. The company is now led by Wilfried Atzert, a long-time executive who has been with the brand for over 20 years and has played a key role in every stage of its expansion.

Carhartt WIP Pizza Slicer & Apron Offered in FW25 'Pronto Subito' Capsule
Carhartt WIPhas veered from the duck canvas and double-knee workwear of tradition, to present a different kind of workwear reminiscent of a pizza parlor uniform. In addition to apparel and accessories, the collection is complete with a custom chrome pizza cutter and an embroidered apron. The name 'Pronto Subito' or 'ready immediately' draws inspiration from 80s-era pizzeria signage, appearing emblazoned on blue and black graphic tees and two colorways of a graphic zip-up sweater. Additionally, the range includes a white embroidered cap and a black screen-printed tote bag. Each piece boasts the same playful illustration of an oddly-shaped slice of pizza and bold green bubble typography. On the Carhartt WIP app, the brand has also released a retro video game designed by artist Oliver Payne and writer Erica Redling, co-founders of Safe Crackers Entertainment, inspired by the capsule. Created with arcade-style, 8-bit graphics, participants are challenged with a race to prepare pizza slices on a time crunch. The Carhartt WIP FW25 Pronto Subito collection is available now at the Carhartt WIPweb store. The Pronto Subito video game can be found on the Carhartt WIP app.
