Carhartt WIP

1989, 100 years after Hamilton Carhartt established his business in Detroit, Swiss national Edwin Faeh started importing a small range of Carhartt work wear through his agency ‘All American Concept’, alongside a collection of other brands with an authentic US background. Founded in 1994, Work in Progress Textilhandels GmbH (WIP) created a distribution network for Carhartt USA across Europe, introducing a selection of classic products from the original work wear range. In 1997 the first collection designed exclusively by Work in Progress was launched.
