It’s not lost on us that when a celebrity is spotted wearing a new label, it’s often their way of giving it a subtle stamp of approval.
Amid the familiar flashes of Miu Miu, Coach, and Loewe, there’s a quiet contender that’s been making waves across red carpets and sidewalks alike.
Enter Charles & Keith — the under-the-radar Singaporean brand that’s proving to be a must-have in our accessories drawer.

With more than 600 stores in 38 countries, the label is no small player, yet it somehow flies under the radar, even as it becomes a favourite among fashion insiders.
Charlie XCX, Barbara Pavlin, Suki Waterhouse and JLo are just a small number of A-Listers who have all been seen styling the brand’s shoes and bags.
What’s behind the brand’s rising cult status? A mix of trend-forward design, global accessibility, and most importantly — affordable price points.
1. JLo in the Gabine Leather Elongated Shoulder Bag, $216
The streets of NYC are home to plenty of styling inspiration — and we’re always busy taking notes.
When JLo stepped out with Charles & Keith’s Gabine shoulder bag, one of the brand’s signature styles and a firm-favourite among celebs and stylists.
Miss Jenny styled hers with a head-to-toe mint outfit, but we’ve found a newly-launched shiny black colourway that is perfect for the office, evening drinks, and everything inbetween.
We’re obsessed with the baguette-inspired silhouette, silver-tone hardware and horseshoe design. Plus, there’s plenty of room for your phone, lippy and sunglasses.
2. Suki Waterhouse in the Jully Metallic Trapeze Heel Ankle Boots, $136
Just because we’re heading into spring, it doesn’t mean our boots have to go into hiding.
Mini skirts and denim shorts pair perfectly with ankle and knee high styles, and it’s not to late to get your hands on a pair if your shoe-robe is lacking.
Need some inspo? Suki Waterhouse was spotted wearing a luxe-looking cream pair from Charles & Keith.
The only difference is hers were personalised with diamantes — just because.
3. Charlie XCX, Hazel Bow Elongated Trapeze Shoulder Bag $136
For her brat summer, Charlie XCX showed the label some love when she stepped out carrying the Hazel bow bag at a beach party in Cannes.
Proving that the classic east-west bag will never truly go out of style — this Charles & Keith carrier is a must-have, and it’s available in four classic colourways.
Both Charlie XCX and Barbara Sprouse opted for a sleek black on the red carpet.
Top tip: try attaching bag charms to personalise your arm candy.
