ABOUT
Introduction
A Story of Love
Cari Earth was born from a love of the earth and a yearning to celebrate and preserve its beauty through a design and manufacturing process centred on longevity and sustainability.
Cari Earth creates collections across fashion, homeware and lifestyle working with sustainable materials and suppliers who prioritise the wellbeing of our planet.
WHO WE ARE
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hailing from Copenhagen, Caroline af Rosenborg is a leading designer and tastemaker whose career has spanned over 20 years.
Her first taste of the fashion industry was on Saville Row, where she apprenticed at the Haute Couture studio of Hardy Amies, the famous London designer, when she was a teenager. After completing a degree in Fashion Design at Ravensbourne, she forged her career as a designer at Vivienne Westwood, where she ascended the ranks to become a senior designer overseeing the iconic Red Label collections.
Following her departure from Vivienne Westwood, Caroline worked as a consultant for various start-up fashion brands across Europe while developing her eponymous swimwear label, Caroline Af Rosenborg Resortwear, which she launched in 2019.
Cari Earth is an evolution of her journey as a designer. It is a concept stemming from her passion for the environment and a yearning to balance beautiful design with a simple, conscientious way of life.
ALL ELEMENTS AND SEASONS
We endeavour to sustain our connection with the earth by honouring all seasons and elements and creating beautiful objects that will weather and adapt to the inevitable passing of time.
Our ethos
FROM EARTH TO EARTH
We take inspiration and natural materials from earth while making sustainable choices through every stage of the manufacturing process. Regarding the earth's resources as something to borrow to realise our creations, we prioritise biodegradable materials that can easily break down and return to the earth they came from once an item's life cycle eventually ends.
Our ethos
CARE FOR ALL CREATURES
Caring for our planet means that we must also care for all creatures that we share it with. For animal-sourced materials, we only source from suppliers that practice circular agriculture and value animal welfare as much as we do.
OUR VALUES
Our love for the earth and commitment to sustainability drives everything we do at Cari Earth.
Our Values
HARMONY
We create and work in alignment with nature, not in exploitation of it. By this, we mean that we are careful to source only materials that the earth can afford to give without damaging the environment and seek to minimise or eliminate our carbon footprint at every stage of our products' journey from conceptualisation to post-consumption stages.
Our Values
BALANCE
We honour the natural flow of energy and cycles over rigid seasons in our sourcing and manufacturing timelines. We avoid over-production by creating timeless pieces in small quantities that can withstand the test of time and bring joy season after season.
Our Values
CIRCULARITY
What we send out always returns and we never lose sight of the circular nature of the creative process. Always mindful of the natural resources needed to realise our visions, we are highly selective about the suppliers and manufacturers we work with and we opt for natural dyeing methods, sustainable and biodegradable materials for both our products and packaging.
