Founded in London in 2008 by Charlotte Olympia Dellal, the eponymous brand is a celebrated luxury footwear and accessories label. Dellal, a graduate of London College of Fashion's Cordwainers, infuses her designs with the glamour of classical Hollywood cinema and the pin-up style of the 1940s and 50s. The brand is recognized for its iconic 'Dolly' island-platform pumps, whimsical 'Kitty' flats, and witty perspex clutches. Each shoe is handcrafted in Italy and features a signature gold spider's web on the sole, a nod to the children's book Charlotte's Web. The brand's aesthetic is characterized by playful details, bold colors, and a cinematic sensibility. After its original operating company faced administration and filed for bankruptcy in the US in 2018, the brand was acquired by Xcel Brands and continues to operate.
