The Legacy

The sublime sophistication of the CHARLES OWO men's furnishings conveys the sentiment of the rare few who understand the dramatic difference between fashion and style, and who share a bespoke attitude towards life.

A famous fashion icon once said, "The difference between style and fashion is quality." This is the philosophy that has paved the way for the CHARLES OWO line of underwear, hand crafted silk ties, ascots, bow ties, pocket squares, and a truly superior collection of leather goods and shoes. All of these indulgences are carefully designed by the founder, Charles Owo and produced within the highest quality facilities.

Having spent the early stage of his career working and succeeding within the renowned House of Chanel, Charles was inspired by the true concept of Chanel. It was Coco Chanel who was overheard saying, "I don't do fashion, I am fashion." This bold viewpoint is shared by Charles, who displayed fashion skills at an early age while working as an apprentice at a family shop, and has motivated him to enter into the world of distinguished fashion design for men.

Beginning in 2010, Charles began designing the ultimate in savoir-faire men's jackets and ties and followed with readymade accessories, centered in the world's fashion capital, New York City.

All of his unique garments and accessories are hand crafted in luxury manufacturing facilities, located in the elegant Lake Como region of Italy, where many of the world's finest luxury garments are manufactured. Deciding on this area for production was a simple matter, as Como is superior in the world for craftsmanship, quality and has preserved a long history of excellence.

The mythical centaur is the symbolic iconic trademark logo chosen for the CHARLES OWO Collection. The ancient centaur was thought to be set between two natures, both the embodiment of an untamed, wild, masculine nature and one of sensitivity and the quest for knowledge. This complexity of character that describes the centaur may very well describe the CHARLES OWO man.
