Charlotte’s love for vintage treasures began at an early age, spending her Saturdays helping out at her father’s renowned antique shop on Portobello Road. What started as a single cabinet of curated pieces in her dad’s shop has evolved into a global business, yet family values remain at the heart of everything at TOTL.
While studying at the prestigious London College of Fashion, Charlotte funded her degree by buying and selling vintage fashion. Her passion for sourcing unique pieces quickly grew and she began to cultivate her own business, travelling to expand her knowledge and refine her eye for exceptional finds. Today, TOTL stands as a family business through and through, built upon decades of experience and a commitment to quality.
Charlotte’s curated collections of vintage Chanel and Hermès have been regularly featured in prominent magazines worldwide, including Vogue. Alongside Josh, the couple appear as the luxury experts on ITV’s “Million Pound Pawn.” Beyond her day-to-day work, Charlotte is available for expert commentary, lectures, events, wish-list sourcing, and authentication advice. She frequently collaborates with companies interested in the pre-loved and resale market, offering her extensive knowledge through consultancy projects and wholesale partnerships.
“I am proud to call us a true family business founded on hard work, trust and history. My dad, Tim Evans, has been an antique interiors and fine jewellery dealer for over 40 years, with my mum Anne managing the family business behind the scenes. My sister Niki expertly handles our family’s precious metal and fine jewellery business and my husband Josh – my partner in all things TOTL – is our in-house watch expert with over 15 years of experience.
What sets us apart is the bespoke service we provide. This business is such an integral part of our lives, and I take pride in building genuine relationships with my clients. As we continue to grow, this personal touch remains at the core of everything we do at TOTL, whether we’re collaborating with high-profile celebrities, individual clients, stylists, or businesses.”
