Before delving into Charlotte Olympia world, you need to read the warning sign.
Or do as I do and practice credit quarantine.
Charlotte’s shoe candy captures your heart …and then your breath heel-hefty-price-tag.
And I can recall with abject authority Mr. Luxe will vouch – that many a shoeventure to Maddox St. has ended in a Sophie’s Choice style meltdown. With Charlotte though, I always felt that I scored more than a shoe. She’s an artist. We he invested in a canvas. Whadda guy.
And like all investable art, signature is essential.
Kitty flats are her trade mark, brush strokes of her genius non? Reinventing the slip-on wheel, but doing it better.
.
So I kitty skipped to her latest pre-fall offering – keen to catch a glimpse of the treasure, statement heels were promised. All fittingly held to ransom at The Connaught.
She delivered; think sphere shaped heels, red laced brogues, embroidered kitty’s and lashings of the gold stuff – metal embellishment is my achilles heel.
The standouts; face silhouettes framing a wedge sandal Charlotte calls ‘Two-Faced’ and a 3D sphere heel homage to ‘Mid-Century’ …magical.
Super noteworthy, the sculptural court ‘This Is Not A Shoe’, cos procuring a sturdy platform is a rite of passage in my opinion.
.
The coup de maître though was my coffee and satin pump chaser. ‘Lippy Eva’ is quite simply a lip adorned pump. Chic and subtle. Sometimes less is more.
June they arrive in store.
