What’s in your bag, Charlotte Olympia Dellal?

Charlotte Olympia Dellal

“This bag is called ‘C’est la vie’ from my Spring 2013 Parisian-inspired collection, embroidered with Brigitte Bardot. It’s all about being a bit tongue-in-cheek, but also at the same time making a beautiful piece. It’s a favourite. It’s also a bag I think you can dress up or dress down, which is why I brought it on my travels. I like to be functional. It’s a magazine-inspired bag, so I’d like to think it can go with everything, because a magazine should go with everything, right? Every season I do a different magazine bag, they all have a different face on them, but she in particular is a favourite.” “This comb-slash-lipstick mirror comes with the bag. It’s a handy, feminine touch.” “My hairbrush, because it’s all about my lips and hair—if my hair is looking good and my lips are red, I feel somewhat normal. And it’s gold, which reminds me of my grandma. [She] used to have a set of these gold vanity pieces. I was very close to her, so when I saw a set, I bought it, and this is the miniature version.” “I always like to carry a pair of sunglasses from an accessories standpoint. Sometimes it’s because it’s sunny, sometimes it’s just an accessory—whether I have them on my bag or on my dress or on my face. I collect vintage sunglasses so I always have a pair.”
