Charlie a Go-Go, Tops and Tunics For Women over 40
Charlie a Go-Go for gorgeous ladies who have boobs, butts and tummies
“What woman hasn’t at some time in her life struggled to find clothes that fit and make her feel amazing? What lady hasn’t at some time experienced change-room-rage or a flood of tears when trying to shop for something – anything – to wear? Lisa Charles and Quita Leslie, the founders of the new clothing brand, Charlie a Go-Go sure have. As besties out shopping together, ‘West Coast girl’ Lisa and ‘Down Under chick’ Quita saw a real gap in the clothing market for ladies who, like them, have ‘lived life’ and had nothing to wear! This is the key element of the Charlie a Go-Go label. Recognizing that the clothing needs of ladies of a certain age, size and shape were largely being ignored by most mainstream designers and manufacturers, Lisa and Quita finally said, “enough” and set out to manufacture a range of groovy tops and tunics to suit gorgeous ladies who have boobs, butts and tummies.
Charlie a Go-Go Designers & Gorgeous Women over 45: Quita Leslie and Lisa Charles
Primarily designed for women over 40 who wear sizes 12 to 18, the label aims to help their customers feel funky, fabulous and cared for. “Quita and I are both on the other side of 45, and I’ve personally struggled with finding clothes to wear shopping, to the movies and out to lunch”, said Lisa. “At the end of the day, sometimes you have to just jump in and solve a problem yourself. I’m not sure how many clothing manufacturers have had the experience of going into a teary-rage because they couldn’t find clothes that fit, but I have. Incidentally, we don’t call ourselves “fashion designers”, said Lisa, “Quita and I are simply clothing manufacturers working hard to bring something to our ladies that makes them feel listened to and loved.”
Charlie a Go-Go –American Made in Downtown Los Angeles
Charlie a Go-Go’s line is ‘designed’ in Australia and is proudly made in Downtown Los Angeles from beautiful soft and wearable American-made fabric. In their search for factories to manufacture their line, Lisa and Quita, traveled to Indonesia and China, and even considered Fiji as a possible production base. Their year-long search for an ethical manufacturer lead them back to Lisa’s hometown, where quality and ‘heart’ came together. “We wanted our garments to be made somewhere that cares for it’s workers”, said Quita, “and we wanted to give our ladies quality garments that don’t fall apart after three washes.”
Tops and tunics shaped for bodies that have lived a life!
With a vibe reminiscent of the sixties and seventies, Charlie a Go-Go wants women to dump the frump and get their groove back. “Our customers are ladies who were a force to be reckoned with back in the day. They remember what quality clothing was like, they ‘invented’ cut off jeans, tie-dye and disco glam”, said Quita. “They were discovering their love of fashion at that time, and now they want it back in great clothes that are made in their size, and shaped for bodies that have lived life!”
The first release of tops and tunics comprises four gorgeous ‘trans-seasonal’ basics which come in three great workable colors, and four generous sizes. Lisa and Quita have used beautifully curvy American and Australian bodies to make their clothing patterns, not computer software without any heart… or flesh, or soul. They’ve spent a lot of time finessing the fit and finish of their tops so they suit just about all body shapes – it’s like their tops have been tailored just for you.
To celebrate their launch, Charlie a Go-Go is giving away two fabulous tops to one of our lovely US-based readers. They have a great ‘combo’ of the super-flattering “Carly” tummy tank and the versatile “Lola” cardigan to share with you. Seen here in the beautiful Orchid shade, they are also available in a sophisticated Charcoal and a fresh French Vanilla.

I love the Lola cardigan. It’s the perfect length. Since I gravitate to greys and blacks, I’d get the grey one.
Hi Michele! We hope luck gravitates your way. 😉 Have a wonderful Sunday. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Lola Cardigan in Charcoal best for myself because with Fall starting down here a nice Cardi is a great addition to my Outfit. I like the Joni Tunic in French Vanilla for my Mom. She always looks good in a fitted top.
Thank you for commenting, Christina. My mom has the Joni and it looks great on her. But, then, moms are always beautiful. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Joni Tunic in lilac. Love the slimming look!
Thank you, Dee. Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great Sunday. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”

I like the Lola cardigan because the weather is getting cold and it looks warm
It’s warm *and* soft. 🙂 We hope you get a chance to see for yourself, Rosanne. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Carly Tummy Tank in orchid, hopefully it would hide my belly and I love the bright colors all year around
Hi Jenny! We also enjoy bright colors in the fall/winter. That’s probably breaking some fashion rule, but we’re okay with that. Good luck with your giveaway entry! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I am going to be getting the The Lola Cardigans. I will be getting all 3 colors. I want the Orchid first. I have been looking for some of these and Sears was out.
We are having a sale while the giveaway is running. You can find the Lola on Amazon for $29.99 (57% off). Just use this link: amzn.to/1eKrBkS

I’d like the Joni Tunic in charcoal….because it looks really flattering and would go with some skirts I have.
We would love to see the Joni paired with a skirt, Kristen! Good luck with the giveaway and please contact us if you win. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I really like the “The Lola Cardigan” I love the color Lavendar~ I also like sweaters that hang loose and go down to a point! Very figure flattering~
We’re happy that we’re on the right track, Cathy! Thank you for your comment. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”

The Rhoda vest, I like long tops and skirts.
Hi Wanda. I like long tops, too. Makes me feel taller. 😉 Good luck with your entry. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I love the orchid Lola lightweight cardigan. The color is so pretty and the cut is very flattering.
Thank you, Deborah. Good luck! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Lola Cardigan in Charcoal because you can dress it up with a skirt or throw it on with a pair of jeans. Cute style with no buttons.
We need you on our marketing team, Polly. Thank you for the comment. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Rhoda vest in the white/cream color – it would go with so many things, and I don’t have any pieces like it in my closet now. Love it!
Sounds like the Rhoda would have a good home, Lynne. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I’d like the Joni Tunic in purple. I just find it fun, and honestly, it’s more ‘out there’ than I normally wear. I have a boring wardrobe actually. But with my working as an extra in movies and TV shows the past several years, I’ve been trying to buy more fashionable clothes … preferably at a discount price. That’s not always easy though.
Thanks for this chance!
We love the idea of you breaking out of your wardrobe shell with the Joni, Pam. We’ve marked it way down during this giveaway to show our appreciation for all the lovely comments. You can purchase the Joni on our website or over on Amazon.com. Just follow this link: amzn.to/1TQdH0u
Would love to know what movies/TV you’ve done. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
The Lola Cardigan in the lovely Charcoal color would be my top pick at Charlie A Go-Go. I’m always looking for something to pull on over a tank or tee, and this cardigan is a heck of lot prettier than the denim shirt or hoodie I usually reach for!
There is always a place and a time for a denim shirt, a hoodie, or a Lola. 🙂 Good luck with the giveaway, Anne. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like that Joni tunic. (It’s for a friend.)
Good luck (for your friend), Richard! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”

Thanks, JLin, and good luck to you! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”

I hope you win it then, Jessica! Thanks for entering the competition. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
