Carven is a Parisian fashion house with a heritage dating back to 1945, known for its fresh, youthful take on French elegance. Founded by Madame Carven, who was herself petite and designed for smaller frames, the house has championed a cheerful, vibrant approach to fashion throughout its history. Carven has experienced several reinventions and continues to present at Paris Fashion Week, offering a lighter, more playful alternative to the grandeur of major Parisian houses. The brand encompasses ready-to-wear, accessories, and fragrance.
