When Carve Designs began in 2003, we didn’t add sustainability to our checklist – we made it our core vision. That hasn’t changed.
“From the very beginning, we built Carve Designs to honor the places we play and the people who make our clothes. Sustainability isn’t a trend for us — it’s the foundation of our brand and a promise to do better every season, from fabric to factory to footprint.”

Sustainable Fabrics That Feel Good, Look Beautiful & Tread Lightly


We are committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable fabrics. Today, 100% of our line is made from recycled, upcycled & organic materials, but we’re always searching for new, premium, eco-conscious options to push our standards even further.
Clean Fashion Means No Toxic Chemicals, It’s Ethically Made & Responsibly Sourced

We eliminate toxic chemicals by using OEKO-TEX–certified suppliers with dyes and finishes that are safe for your skin and the planet. We prioritize responsible sourcing for materials like wool, leather, and down, and partner only with factories that uphold the highest ethical working standards for safety, fairness, and dignity.
Ethically Made, From First Stitch to Final Fit

We visit 100% of our factories and also have third party auditing to ensure compliance in workplace conditions.
Carbon Responsibility: Offsets and Insets in Action

At Carve, we’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint from the ground up—and across the globe. We offset all emissions from our shipping logistics, from factory to distribution center, by planting trees through a verified program that has already reforested over
195 acres worldwide. 

Through our carbon inset program, we further reduce impact by using ocean freight powered by a zero-emission alternative fuel. 

Together, these programs ensure that every product we make is not only crafted from sustainable materials, but is also delivered with the planet in mind—every step of the way.
Our Partners In Purpose

Our commitment to sustainability is strengthened through powerful partnerships that share our vision for a cleaner, more responsible world. From protecting marine ecosystems with Ocean Conservancy, to driving industry change with the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, and rethinking waste with Planet First Packaging — we’re proud to collaborate with leaders in purpose-driven progress.
