I couldn’t be happier with my Nomad backpack! The craftsmanship is exceptional, with every stitch and detail perfectly executed. Knowing it was handmade by Becky adds a special touch, and the quality is unmatched. Highly recommend!

CARV was such an amazing company to shop with, Becky was so personable and helpful. She made a bespoke bag to my requirements and the finished product was more beautiful than I could have hoped for. Thankyou Becky

Received my black Pioneer MIDI crossover bag in black, it’s absolutely beautiful and am so pleased. Fast delivery in a lovely box. Becky has made a lifetime piece. I got it to go with my woollen jacket but it go with everything. I can thoroughly recommend if you’re thinking about it. Super craftsmanship.

I contacted Becky back in early December as I loved the look of one of her wallets but it was out of stock online. She went out of her way to check what she could make out of her materials, made me a custom wallet, and even did a rush on the order so that I had it before I went away. As for the wallet itself (the Pioneer Leather Bifold Card Holder), it was quite simply exact what I wanted. Very true to how it looked online and fantastic quality. I couldn't recommend any higher. The last wallet I had was over twice the price from a designer brand and was a fraction of the quality - if you're 50/50 on whether or not you want to order something, just order it! Tust me! I just feel bad it took me this long to get around to reviewing!

I am a proud owner of two CARV bags, the Mini Pioneer Shoulder Bag in Cherry and the Black Nomad Bucket Bag, both I love using and alternating every day. The craftsmanship is absolutely incredible, you can really see the attention to detail and care that goes into creating each piece. I have also used my Coin Purse and Belt every day for about three years now and they’re only getting more beautiful with age. With her custom order options, Becky is amazing at creating pieces that have the owner in mind.
