32 years of Charlotte & Olivia

32 years ago I sat down at Olivia's kitchen table in Toronto, with a bag full of fabric scraps and her old sewing machine. She was 31, I was 34. What started as a Sunday pastime became Charlotte & Olivia, through long evenings and an outrageous amount of thread.

Now we're slowing down. Fewer days at the machines, more days in the garden. And there's a room here full of bags made to be carried, not to sit in a closet.

That's why we've put 60% off every bag in the shop, and shipping is on us.

It's our way of saying thank you to every woman who has carried one of our bags over these 32 years.
