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.

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.
