Charlie

If you live in Hamra, chances are you’ve seen ‘Got Charlie?’ stencilled all over the city walls. But who exactly is Charlie? That’s one secret they’ll never tell. But what we can divulge is that behind ‘Charlie’ are four talented college girls that got together to voice their creative power. Dominique, Rawan, Sara and Shams have united their diverse backgrounds and influences to create urban fashion reminiscent of London’s street scene. Their inspired outbursts come in the form of trinkets, tutus, scarves and tees, all hand-painted with eclectic, witty and – okay – plain bananas visuals. Each item is a one-off. Even if it’s ‘choomphy’ (in other words if Charlie’s got oomph), they’ll make one and only one item of it. The girls have kept their sales exclusive and their exposure extremely selective. They only do sporadic, short-notice events and fashion shows to encourage fans to ‘get Charlie’. And the good news is, you can weigh yourself down with pounds of baubles from Charlie and still not break the bank. Accessories start at $10 and tees go for $40 and less for both gals and lads. Props girls. Stay tuned for their next appearance or call (70 225076, 03 361776), leave a message after the tone or email vivalacharlie@gmail.com.
