Athens, Greece since 2013
A Karavan Story
A little curiosity can take you a long way.
Read our story
Chapter 01
Before the journey began.
Long before Karavan had a name, there was Marilou and her eye for the unexpected.
From an early age, fashion was a world she loved to wander through. A curious combination, an unusual detail, something that made the familiar feel wonderfully different. Growing up with the culture and style of the ’90s gave her plenty to carry along. Those influences are still with her today, finding new company in the ideas and possibilities of the present.
In 2013, in Athens, that curiosity became the beginning of Karavan.
Chapter 02
A small circle, a world of possibilities.
At first, there were just a few of us.
A small team, held together by close bonds and the happiness of making things together. Ideas passed from one person to another, gathering colour and shape until they became pieces you could wear.
Our first collections grew out of that shared energy. We gave our imagination room to wander, and little by little, it led us somewhere of our own.
Chapter 03
A name to travel with.
Our name found its spark in Black Sabbath’s Planet Caravan, and in the image of a caravan moving through the world.
We loved the thought of people travelling together, following their curiosity, with the freedom to discover what lay around the next corner.
Karavan became a name we could grow into. There would always be another idea to explore, another direction to take, another person to join us along the way.
Chapter 04
The circle grew.
Then our designs began finding their way into other people’s lives.
Seeing you choose them gave us the courage to imagine more. New collections followed, carrying our love of colour, print and playful design into different corners of everyday life.
Today, we create four distinct collections each season: two for women, one for men and one for the home. Through all of them runs the same wish: to make the things we live in and live with a little more beautiful, more joyful, more our own.
Chapter 05
And then, there’s you.
Perhaps a colour caught your eye. Perhaps a print felt like something of yourself.
However you found us, our pieces begin another chapter with you. You wear them your way, give them a place in your home and let them become part of days we could never have imagined.
That is how this story keeps growing.
We are a team that loves creating things and sharing them with the world. The warmth of that first small circle is something we carry with us, making room as we go.
There’s a place for you here.
Come along. We’d love to see where the story takes us together.
