Made in Carp is a love letter to Carpinteria. We design and make vintage inspired hats, totes, and posters that carry a piece of this magical little beach town - afternoons on Linden, gallery nights at the Art Center, a burger at Dang, a glass of wine at Cork, and those sunsets that stop you in your tracks.
Everything is designed and made locally. We press our products in our garage, right here in Carp. We walk the same streets, hear the same bands, and watch the same waves you do. If there’s a packed night at BrewLab or a killer band at Island, we’re there - and chances are one of our hats is too.
We’re not trying to be for everyone. This is for the people who feel Carp—the ones who call it home, the campers who’ve been part of the tradition for decades, and the families whose best memories are tied to reunions at the World’s Safest Beach. We’re not just selling merch. We’re telling stories one shirt, one poster, one design at a time.
If it matters to Carp, it matters to us. ❤️🧡💛
