History

Launched in 2004 by founder and former chief executive officer, Charlie Chanaratsopon, the brand is known for offering a wide array of women's apparel and fashion accessories, beauty, gifts and more, all arranged by color.[2] Charming Charlie filed for bankruptcy in 2017, but attempted to reorganize and continue operations. In July 2019, however, the firm announced that it was filing for a second bankruptcy, and planned to close all 261 of its remaining stores.[3] In November 2019, it was announced Charming Charlie planned to relaunch as an online-focused retailer with a select number of smaller retail stores, from 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft, as well as pop-up stores in select locations. The relaunch is led by founder Charlie Chanaratsopon, who had previously purchased the company's trademarks out of bankruptcy in September that year.[4]
