Charlie Lapson is a man on the move.  Whether he is jetting off to Europe to personally select the highest quality leather and gemstones for his signature line of handbags and jewelry, or to Hollywood to outfit award-winning stars for the red carpet, as well as to Mexico, Dubai, Rio and Hong Kong for trunk show presentations, his international following continues to grow.

Originating from New York and Miami, Lapson attended the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology and The School of Visual Arts. His career continued in Los Angeles where he led the business of the mega million dollar successful brand Bugle Boy, and selling to Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Saks and prominent stores.

In Lapson’s own words, he says, “ Fashion is an avenue for creativity, individuality and self expression. I consider being part of the world of style and design an honor.”
