"Having watched Carbon grow up from U St to Conn. Ave has been interesting. Looks like they have achieved a perfect mix of unique, stylish and comfortable shoes. And the new clothing and accessories make for a boutique that is more likely found in NYC, not WDC! A must stop when on the Red Line."

 Located across the street from The Woodley / National Zoo Metro Stop, CARBON carries a unique collection of Men's and Women's forward footwear, clothing, handbags, belt buckles and jewelry all surrounded by four lines of contemporary upholstry that allow our customer to pick up that must have pair of shoes, match them with a one of a kind belt and browse a line of modern furniture that would accent any living space... All while enjoying the vibe!! 

CARBON's mission is to continually review our lines and see what else is out there.  We hope to provide a selection of shoes, clothing and accessories that are not easily found, over priced or over the top... all while maintaining a tasteful edge.  Our brands are a little off beat, but all have a reason for being here.  We enjoy discussing the whys of our selection, in fact we welcome it, it provides insight to our inventory and sheds light on the time and effort many of our vendors have put into our products.  So if you can swing by and say hi.. and why.
