Innovative Carpet Company gear bringing DIY screen printing, distinctive graphics, and authentic Baltimore skate culture.
Founded by brothers Ayman and Osama Abdeldayem in their Baltimore basement, Carpet Company represents the true essence of skater-owned, DIY ethos that resonates with Richmond's own independent scene. Their distinctive approach to apparel and hardgoods combines Middle Eastern visual influences with experimental screen printing techniques that push beyond skateboarding's typical graphic language. Each piece – from their coveted decks to their premium cut-and-sew garments – features hand-screened details that ensure no two items are exactly alike, creating genuine limited editions rather than manufactured scarcity. Their breakthrough Nike SB Dunk collaboration showcased their signature tearaway upper revealing hidden graphics underneath, cementing their reputation for innovative design thinking. Carpet's team features a tight-knit crew of East Coast rippers who embody the brand's creative approach to spot selection and trick choice, including standout parts in their self-produced videos that capture urban exploration beyond the obvious skate destinations. Their graphics often incorporate Arabic script alongside playful characters and abstract elements, creating a visual identity that stands distinctly apart in skateboarding's landscape. Venue proudly stocks Carpet Company as part of our commitment to independent brands pushing skateboarding's creative boundaries – perfect for Richmond skaters who appreciate the intersection of authentic street skating and artistic expression that doesn't follow predictable formulas.
