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 Like the Lola Cardigan in pink. I’m a nuclear tech and I scan a lot of women (and some men) for Breast Cancer and during the month of October we wear Pink to support them and this cardigan is beautiful just like my patients.
Your patients are lucky to have such a caring person looking after them, Teresa. Sending you all love and support. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Rhoda Vest and pink/purplish color. Looks very comfortable
Comfortable and lots of fun, Melinda. 🙂 Thank you for your comment. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I would like the Lola Cardigan in the beige color.
Good luck, Carol! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like The Lola Cardigan in orchid because it’s a pop of color.
Thanks for the contest.
I hope you get that ‘pop’, Sarah! Good luck. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I’d get the “Lola” Lightweight Cardigan in white! I’ve been looking for a cream or lighter colored cardigan FOREVER and I love the flowiness of this one.. it’d be perfect.
Thanks for the comment, Rachel. We’re glad we’ve got what you’re looking for! Charlie a Go-Go can also be purchased on Amazon.com. We hope you win but… just in case. 😉 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I’d like the Rhoda vest in black as I have nothing like it in my wardrobe and neither does my friend.
Good luck to you and your friend, Nadine! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Joni in Charcoal because I look great in V-necks
Haha! Me too, Lana! Love your honesty. 😀 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Carly Tummy Tank in Orchid. It looks very comfortable.
The Carly is comfortable, Helen. I wear it all the time under the Lola, Rhoda long-vest, and other cover-ups in my wardrobe. Thanks for your comment. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I love the Lola Cardigan in the Orchid! I love the slouch look and the color is gorgeous!
Good luck, Amanda! We’re so happy you like our Orchid. We love the color and plan to keep it for the next few collections. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I would get the Joni top in Orchid . I love the color and style.
Good luck, Leisl and thanks for your kind words. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I LOVE the Lola Cardigan in Purple! It is so pretty and it looks soft and comfortable. I want one so bad!
We WANT you to have one so bad! Haha! Good luck, Dawn. Love the enthusiasm! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I’d pick the Joni tunic in French Vanilla because I think it would be a nice basic top for me.
That’s exactly what this first half of our collection was designed to be, Leah… basics. Good luck with the giveaway. 🙂 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
The Lola Cardigan ts pretty and looks warm.
Thank you for the comment, Danielle. The Lola is a great piece for fall, on its own, or winter, under a coat (but still warm enough for the office, movies, etc.). Good luck with the giveaway. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
The Lola Cardigan in Orchid is so pretty I would wear this one often like the length too
We’re glad you like the length of the Lola, Laurie. It was important to us to create something longer than what you’d normally find in the stores. Have a great fall. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I absolutely love the Lola cardigan. I would get it in black, which is probably a little bit boring, but it would match pretty much everything that way.
We are so glad you love the Lola, Claire! It’s actually charcoal, not black, but it works pretty much the same. Good luck! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I love the Rhoda vest. Perfect for work and happy hour.
Yes! That’s exactly what we had in mind, Paige! Good luck! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I love the Rhoda vest, I think it looks young and Hip! I really need to feel those ways. It really slenderizes the person wearing it too I think.
Young and hip… yep, we understand that as women over a ‘certain age’, Cheryl. Pair some funky boots with the Rhoda and you will be a new woman. Promise! 😉 -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I would get the Carly tummy tank in the gray!
We hope you get the Carly Tummy Tank in gray! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Rhoda in grey. It is just lovely.
Thank you, Trisha. Good luck! -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
I like the Lola cardigan in orchid. I like it because its a unique color and something I don’t really own in my closet. However, I am obsessed with anything purple this year!
That’s a good obsession to have, Ashley. Good luck and thanks for commenting. -Lisa from “Team Charlie”
