Charlotte Olympia links with Marvel for collaborative capsule

Luxury shoes and accessories brand Charlotte Olympia has joined forces with American comics publisher and movie producer Marvel, to deliver a collaborative collection with a unique twist.

The tie-up — which was revealed today by the British footwear brand via Instagram — will give way to an exclusive capsule collection which is to a selection of signature Charlotte Olympia styles, such as high-heeled, strappy sandals, a pair of red Kitty slip-on sneakers and a clutch with a spider web motif embroidered all over each style.

Dropping further hints about the upcoming collection, an animated video promoting the news via Instagram showed illustrations of the accessories from the Charlotte Olympia collaboration incorporated into a scene from Spider-Man filled with comics illustrations.

Ass WWD reports, designer Charlotte Dellal has always been partial to spider webs - a gold spider-web motif features on the back of all Charlotte Olympia shoes - so a Marvel Spider-Man-themed collaboration was presumably the perfect fit for both brands.

The collection is due to drop into stores on July 5.
