Anton and Katya Karpovs are the creators of Karpov, a young and independent leather clothing brand that emerged in 2019. Their artisan spirit and inspiration from vintage finds at flea markets are reflected in their timeless collection of braids, trench coats, bombers, jackets, trousers, and skirts, which are all made of genuine leather.
The products in KARPOV’s main collection feature timeless cuts, relaxed silhouettes, an uncompromising approach to choosing the best premium materials, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. With each product that they create, KARPOV seeks to give people things in which they want to be themselves, rejecting prejudices. Moreover, they stand firm in their stance against fast fashion by creating things designed to bring joy from season to season.

The brand’s vision is to create things for life in which people can breathe deeply, dance, sing, and be themselves, casting aside any societal biases.
