Has there ever been a more perfect clutch for me?

I am not sure if I have mentioned it on the blog before, but I might very well have, but I am a huge fan of maps and globes. And of Charlotte Olympia, which is pretty well documented here on the blog. So imagine my excitement when I discovered that Charlotte Olympia had actually designed a globe themed clutch bag!

It is called the Columbus clutch and it is just divine!

This needs to be the first Charlotte Olympia bag I get, I have been admiring her bags for ages but never got around to getting one, but now there is no excuse! I just need to find a way to see this beauty IRL to make sure it is as pretty as in the pictures first...

Charlotte Olympia Librarian Handbag


As an avid (well, that's an understatement actually!) reader, another one of the new Charlotte Olympia bags that I really, really love is the Librarian one. It is just gorgeous and full of books, of course. What could be better than that?

Charlotte Olympia Eiffel tower clutch

I have a handbag shaped like the Eiffel tower. I have showed it off here on the blog before, here and wrote about the company that made it here, but my bag is not a clutch. So when I spotted this Charlotte Olympia bag that has been inspired by my favorite sight anywhere in the world I kind of feel like I need the clutch too...
After all, I don't think there is such a thing as too many Eiffel tower bags, is there?

Charlotte Olympia's Mexican bag collection



I think this collection of bags is really, really fun. Although maybe not that useful, because where would you take all these Mexican bags, and not feel a bit ridiculous about it?

Charlotte Olympia actually branded this as a Cruise Collection, so she intends it for Mexican holidays, which is a nice idea, but wouldn't that just make you feel a bit too touristy?

I do think these bags would be really fun for Mexican themed parties, though, but how often does one go to those?

(see the bags on Charlotte Olympia's website, here, here and here)

Like the Luxe look?

If so, Charlotte Olympia's new Gold Bar clutch bag might be a good choice for you. Because what can be more luxurious than pure gold?
Not that this clutch is made out of pure gold, of course, but it certainly looks like it is! And to be honest, it has a price tag to go along with the look... But then again, most Charlotte Olympia bags do...

What a Peach indeed!

My affection for Charlotte Olympia bags is hardly a secret, I do blog about them on a regular basis, after all. So I pretty much fall in love with each and every handbag released by this brand. And one of the latest Charlotte Olympia bags - called What A Peach - is definitely no exception.



Because the fruit theme is so me right now, I like it in all shapes and forms, and it seems a lot of other people do too. However, I have not seen very many peach varieties out there, so this Charlotte Olympia is really unique at the same time as it is very on trend too!

The best deals for handbags at the ASOS sale

(according to me, this is definitely what I would be buying myself right now, if it wasn't for the small issue that I am actually about to downsize my handbag collection, due to a move due in a couple of months)

- The Alexander Wang Pelican Mini bag in elaphe and leather

The color is unusual, the texture really cool, yet the shape a classic - definitely makes it a winner in my book!

- The Charlotte Olympia Flashback clutch.


While I am not sure any clutch that is this small could be labelled "a find" or "a bargain" (the price tag even in the sale is pretty hefty), it definitely is adorable lookwise. So I would definitely want this, but I suppose I might prefer it if someone else paid for it, haha!

Romwe's Charlotte Olympia bag

Charlotte Olympia's Movie Board clutch has to be one of her best known bags, but obviously this bag is out of most people's price range. This is why I think a lot of people might be interested in the fact that Romwe seems to have a look a like bag, see it here.


Not a bag option at all, I think. Too bad they even copied the name Charlotte Olympia though, I don't think that's very nice...

Like Charlotte Olympia?

But find her bags slightly too whimsical and impractical?
If so, you will be delighted to hear that Charlotte Olympia will soon launch a line of work appropriate office wear, according to Fashionista.

I really think the brand stands out due to the whimsical touches, so I think I will personally stick with the regular Charlotte Olympia designs, but I do think there is a market for this out there.

Another Charlotte Olympia masterpiece

... is of course her Jukebox bag, which might have been even more fun and pretty with some more color, but it's pretty perfect as it is too.


I can't believe how Charlotte Olympia seems to nail it every time with her bags!

The latest Charlotte Olympia goodie to catch my eye...



... is the Record Perspex clutch, that looks like an old fashioned record, if anyone should happen to still remember those. I love it, due to the vintage feel of it. It's fun, yet historic at the same time!

Another Charlotte Olympia bag that I like but don't love...

... is the Gummi Bear clutch.


I like the shape and look of it, but I am not a big fan of gold plated things, so the gold color of it is not for me. And even if it was, I think a gummi bear clutch should be in the same color as actual gummi bears. So a yellow, red or green one, for instance, would have been much more suitable if you ask me!

But even with the gold color the Charlotte Olympia Gummi Bear clutch is pretty cool, I have to admit!

A great bag for Valentine's Day

I've written about Valentine's Day bags on the blog before (here and here, for instance), but it seems Charlotte Olympia does not only make really cool comic book clutches and bags that look like telephones, she's also created what might be the perfect Valentine's Day bag:


The bag is called Arm Candy - Be Mine, and you can get it over at Net-a-Porter, for instance.

(And yes, I do realize Valentine's Day is still some time away, but how do you expect to have the perfect bag for it, if you shop for that bag in the last minute?)

The perfect clutch for comic book lovers

Has to be a Charlotte Olympia bag too, the Archie Comic Embroidered crepe de chine clutch.


Sure, there are some cheaper comic book clutches out there, too, but the issue I have with most of them is that they are not very well made, and a lot of them look rather cheap to be honest. But a clutch made by Charlotte Olympia, of course, does not! So if you are looking for a slightly more upscale comic book clutch, this would be a great option, I think!

Another great Charlotte Olympia bag

Is of course the one called Chatterbox (I even love the names of Charlotte Olympia bags!), that looks like a phone, an old fashioned, simple one.

I would really love to get this bag, but then again, that goes for most Charlotte Olympia bags, it seems. So maybe it's really not that noteworthy...

The perfect bag for Halloween?

Another cute and cool bag that I absolutely love right now is Charlotte Olympia's Boo bag.

I really can't think of a more appropriate bag for Halloween, and what amazes me about this brand is how Charlotte Olympia constantly seems to create needs in my bag collection that I didn't even know I had! Who knew you needed a special bag for Halloween, for instance, or for going to the movies? But somehow, I am convinced that this is indeed the case when I see Charlotte Olympia's very cool and very fun bags!

Another great Charlotte Olympia bag

This one is called Time Piece and looks like a classic, big clock. I personally think it's really fun, but also wearable, due to the colors.

I would definitely love to add this bag to my collection, but due to the rather high price, I don't think I will for now. Instead, I think my next more expensive bag will be Charlotte Olympia's Movie Night bag.

But I do like Time Piece as well, really nice!

Charlotte Olympia's Walk of Fame clutch

I am a huge fan of Charlotte Olympia's movie themed bags (see one of my favorites in this post), so it's no wonder I really like her new Walk of Fame clutch too:


If you've always wanted your own star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, this is your chance to get one! Too bad you can't actually have your very own name on it too, that's the only thing I can think of that would make this bag even better!

New, gorgeous Charlotte Olympia bag: Movie Night

Charlotte Olympia never ceases to amaze me when it comes to new, cool ideas for bags. The latest proof of that is her Movie Night bag, that looks like a small popcorn bucket, the kind you buy at the movies sometimes.


Such a cute idea and definitely a must for any Charlotte Olympia fan! (Even though the popcorn buckets I personally buy when I go to the movies are usually bigger than this...)

Charlotte Olympia's Discover Brazil shopper

When it comes to Charlotte Olympia, most people associate her with her famous (and gorgeous!) book clutches. But she also makes other, really cool bags too. Such as this shopper bag, with a map of Brazil on it.

It is called Discover Brazil, and as a huge fan of maps in any shape and form, including on bags, I love the idea of putting a modern, cool map of this kind on a bag!
I really wish I had some kind of connection to Brazil now, so I could justify getting this bag, but since I don't, I think my old vintage map bag will have to do for now. But should Charlotte Olympia do this map thing for other countries as well, I'd definitely be interested if one of those countries was a country I had some kind of connection to!
