Carhartt WIP is pleased to announce the opening of its latest store in Lausanne, marking the brand’s third location in Switzerland.
The store is located on Rue de Genève in the central district of Le Flon, an area renowned for its industrial heritage and architecture. Designed by Salomée Faeh and Andrea Caputo, the store combines Le Flon’s industrial roots with Carhartt WIP’s contemporary design DNA to create a considered, cohesive space that honors its surroundings. Concrete counters, steel columns and perforated metal panels are balanced with glass elements and mirrors, offering a more expansive feel.
To mark the launch, Carhartt WIP created a limited selection of t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring illustrations by artist Hugo Baud, inspired by local landmarks and sites.
Carhartt WIP Store Lausanne opened its doors on December 4th 2025.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt Work In Progress
Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is a clothing brand that adapts and modifies the core products of the pioneering American workwear brand Carhartt to create its own collections. Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, the brand’s audience is just as likely to associate its iconic yellow C motif with late 90s hip hop videos or skate clips, as they are with factories or manual labor. This distinction is key in defining what Carhartt WIP does. Carhartt WIP engages with different cultural spheres: from Detroit and Berlin’s symbiotic techno scenes, to skateboarding and its communities that span Paris, New York, and Seoul, to the contemporary art world. The brand channels these influences, representing the culture which has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, its imagery, and its choice of partners and collaborators. Today, Carhartt WIP operates over 100 brick and mortar retail stores across Europe, Asia, and the US, as well as working with select wholesale clients.
