Luxury Hand-Crochet Atelier Debuts

New York (ContentDesk) December 5, 2005 -- A new company dedicated to luxury, hand-crocheted intimate apparel, loungewear, and ready-to-wear debuts today. Inspired by the sylph swans and buxom bombshells of the past and present comes this new line of high-end crochetwear, reinvented: CharmaineLouise. The collection is comprised of four distinct lines that showcase the beauty of the art of crochet while offering sophisticated, versatile pieces for every woman: the glamorous Diana, classic Lena, flirty Ginger, and the ultimate style maven Jackie. The lines range from $360.00 to $1,845.00 and are available exclusively online at www.charmainelouise.com. Complimentary holiday shipping is available from November 28 to December 12, 2005.

Developing this new collection is a joy and the culmination of a lifelong dream, says Charmaine Louise Shelton, Chairman and CEO of CharmaineLouise New York, Inc. After eleven years as an advertising and marketing executive in the publishing industry, I taught myself to crochet while I recuperated from a fall and turned an unfortunate situation into a new career by creating a company whose focus is to encourage our clientele to surround themselves in a luxurious lifestyle. The collection offers women stylish choices, high-quality, and above all, a sexy edge, just like the women who inspired the lines. CharmaineLouise offers timeless, effortlessly chic pieces whose versatility transforms them from intimate apparel to ready-to-wear, taking you from the bedroom to the boardroom to the ballroom, adds Mia. L. Shelton, Chief Marketing Officer.

Each high-end piece in the CharmaineLouise collection is hand-crocheted in the most sumptuous, hand-dyed cashmere, silk, and cotton yarns. In addition, each line is characterized by a distinctive signature crochet stitch, all made with the discerning woman in mind who prefers to set, rather than follow, trends. The Fall/Winter 2005 Collection highlights include an eight-ply cashmere, maxi-length kimono in jet, liquid platinum colored tunic, and romantic capelet with flirty velvet ribbon closure in amethyst, each with a matching bikini. CharmaineLouise will also take custom orders, celebrating the art of couture reinvented in hand-crochet. A new collection will debut each season..

You have heard it time and again. Lottery Winners lose it all and trust fund babies waste their parent's hard earned cash. In fact, up to 80% of the lottery winners in this country file bankruptcy within five years. Most of us say," That would never happen to me. You would have to be really dumb to lose all that money." Yet the very reason that these individuals let their money run through their fingers is the very reason that most of us are still working pay check to paycheck.

It is a lacking mindset that is responsible for our financial difficulties. They believe: 1) I don't deserve this 2) I feel guilty because it happened to me and not ___________ 3) This can't be real 4) etc... Those with money that work their way up from the bottom or build the wealth they have easily, have the one thing that most of us lack - a million dollar mind set.
