Charlotte Olympia

General information

Luxury shoes and accessories designer Charlotte Olympia Dellal began designing from her love of fashion and the art of corsetry.

Charlotte took her passion to Cordwainers, the world-renowned college for footwear and accessories in London. Here she was able to explore her interests alongside technical training in the art of making beautiful shoes. Soon after graduating in 2004 with an eagerness to specialize in footwear, Charlotte launched her eponymous London based shoe brand in January 2008.

Charlotte Olympia designs have become synonymous with classic sophistication and meticulous attention to detail. Creating iconic shoes such as the ‘Dolly’ with its signature gold ‘island’ platform, are in keeping with the brand’s feminine design philosophy, inspired by a bygone era of old-Hollywood glamour. Each shoe is handcrafted in Italy using only the finest materials and finished with a signature gold spider’s web on the sole.

The brand’s distinctive leopard prints, fan detailing and arresting use of colour have quickly become design classics; coveted by Sarah Jessica Parker, Alexa Chung, Anna Dello Russo, Keira Knightly, Katy Perry and Beyoncé amongst others. The label continues to develop its product lines to include, not only captivating heels, but also an array of flats, boots and accessories.

Charlotte Olympia now develops four collections a year including “Encore”, a collection of signature silhouettes available all year round. The Charlotte Olympia stores in London’s Mayfair, Manhattan’s Madison Avenue and now LA's North Rodeo Drive, Beverley Hills aim to encapsulate Charlotte’s world.

The collections are also stocked in some of the world’s most prestigious retailers including Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, On Pedder, Net-A-Porter, Harrods, Printemps and Beymen.
