Carhartt WIP is pleased to announce the opening of its latest flagship store in Lisbon, situated on Praça Luís de Camões in the heart of the city.
The store’s location is renowned for its rich cultural and architectural heritage, featuring a monument to national poet Luís Vaz de Camões, while connecting the bustling neighborhoods of Chiado and Bairro Alto.
Designed by Salomée Faeh and the Milanese studio of architect Andrea Caputo, the store establishes a dialogue between Portugal’s tradition of craftsmanship and Carhartt WIP’s contemporary design language. Elements typically found in Carhartt WIP stores – such as concrete fixtures, steel piping, and solid wood tables – appear alongside multiple arrangements of handmade, hand-painted tiles, paying homage to the Portuguese art of ceramic azulejos.
Carhartt WIP will celebrate the opening with a launch event on October 17, featuring DJ sets from King Kami, as well Helviofox B2B DJ Narciso of the internationally-acclaimed Lisbon label Príncipe Discos. The evening will conclude with a live performance by the Brazilian artist MC ZKW. A limited number of exclusive t-shirts, featuring graphics designed by Lisbon-based artist Ricardo Passaporte, will also be available on the night.

Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) develops its own collections based on original Carhartt workwear. The brand combines authentic adaptations of these robust American archetypes, while engaging with the subcultures that have embraced it. This, in turn, has seen Carhartt WIP place itself in a new context and bring forth its own classics.
Carhartt WIP opened its first store in London in 1997 and today operates over 80 brick and mortar locations worldwide. It also has its own skate team and music department, while supporting an array of artists and releasing various in-house publications. Since 2010, Carhartt WIP has worked with a number of like-minded collaborators, including A.P.C., Converse, Fragment Design, Junya Watanabe, Nike, Underground Resistance, and Motown.
