A clothing line to love!




Hello readers! Long time, I know.... I have someone for you to meet! Charlie Boots. Tell us a little about yourself, Charlie!

"I make clothing for my label, 'Charlie Boots' that is feminine, flattering and versatile.
Most garments are reversible so that there are two designs in one garment. They are
also couture finished with bound seams ensuring longevity. I do not believe in the
modern trend for throwaway fashion which is unsustainable and therefore unethical.

My pieces are designed to be classic pieces that can be treasured throughout the
seasons. I design garments that can also be worn throughout the year because of
their fabric and/or their ability to be layered with other items. Charlie Boots is about
creating very high quality, timeless, design-led wardrobe staples that have a clean
conscience.

I use idiosyncratic pattern cutting and finishing techniques that I discover in my
design exploration. These give details in a garment that you will not be found
elsewhere. If you add to this the vintage fabrics and a limit of ten items per design, it
is not an empty claim when I say that these garments are genuinely unique.
All of the fabrics I use are either fair-trade certified, organic, sustainable, vintage or
re-claimed. 95% of my fabrics are also bought in the UK.
My manufacturing is done in the UK and although that is costly, I know that every
person who has a hand in producing my garments is in a happy and safe environment
and is being paid fairly for the work they do."
