Charles L. Thomas creates classic glamour for the modern girl. A former dance instructor, his handbag collection incorporates the grace and beauty of ballroom dance with the form and function a woman needs in a bag. Despite a newcomer in the industry, Thomas’ collection channels traditional allure and stylish simplicity with contemporary glamour.

The Simone is sweet and sophisticated – the cameo adds a dash of Italian flavor, and the antiqued fabric and leather come together to create a feminine touch on the traditional satchel. The Shirley Satchel/Shoulder Bag is perfect for the woman who wants the basic beauty of a Birkin, without breaking the bank. The Brianna boasts a beautiful bow, made of snake embossed leather, and an oversized ruched suede body. Have some pillow talk with the Jessica Tote – a plush satin and leather pillow–shaped bag in two shades of red that will leave you blushing with delight.
