ABOUT FABRIC HORSE
Carrie Collins founded Fabric Horse in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2003. It
began as a name for the things she created in her spare time while
studying Industrial Design at the University of Cincinnati. Since
then, FH has relocated to Philadelphia where it has grown into one of
the city's most vibrant small businesses, hand sewing utility belts,
fancy fannies, spats, bags, costumes and everything in between. Carrie
grew the company for the next three years steadily, by working herself
silly and sewing in her sleep.
In 2006, Mary Casper hopped on board in an attempt to escape a desk
job. It worked! After interning with the company for several months,
Mary became Carrie's first employee and has been an amazing addition.
Not only does she stitch prodigiously, but she is also a veritable
designer and the beautiful brains behind the FH Blog. Mary's
contribution gave Carrie more time and energy to dream up new things
and steer Fabric Horse toward bigger and brighter horizons. Mary's own
background in sociology and writing, together with Carrie's flamboyant
ideas and penchant for the fantastical has made FH what it is today:
Philadelphia's premier outfit for utilitarian goods and costumes for
urban life.
As a company, Fabric Horse aims to preserve the ritual of the handmade
and by that token, all Fabric Horse products are designed and sewn by
the two of us in our studio in Philadelphia's Chinatown. Each piece is
made for you from scratch by a single pair of hands. As an
environmentally and socially conscious company, all products are
constructed from scavenged, reused, recycled, or environmentally
friendly fabrics. Sometimes these materials are combined with exciting
vinyls and upholstery for even more of that FH flare you know you love,
in products you never dreamed possible. Fabric Horse remains committed
to bringing you fresh designs that help you do what you do best and
look good while doing it.
The design aesthetic of our small company is constantly changing,
inspired by the streets we ride everyday and by the people of our fair
Philadelphia. Fabric Horse owes much of its success and continued
support to the bicycle community, which fuels our work day in, day
out. Mary and Carrie commute most days on two wheels and conduct FH
business entirely by bicycle. FH will never outsource its labor
overseas and FH products will never be for sale in a mall. This is a
promise.
Fabric Horse is a small operation, but don't let that fool you.
Sometimes Mary comes in to work and asks Carrie, "So, what are we going
to do today?"
To which Carrie always responds, with one eyebrow raised, "What we do
everyday, Mary. Take over the world!"
