Carrie Forbes first launched her accessories label in Los Angeles in 1989, gaining initial acclaim for her hand-crocheted handbags. After a period of honing her craft in Italy with luxury houses like Fendi and Armani, Forbes relaunched her brand in 2014 with a new focus. Inspired by the traditional craftsmanship she discovered in Turkey and Morocco, the brand became centered on hand-woven raffia footwear. Each pair of Carrie Forbes shoes is handmade by female artisans in Morocco, a process that can take up to a full day per pair.
