Char was born Charlotte Blankenship in a small Colorado town to a lively creative family. She still has the doll clothes she and her two sisters stitched on their mothers small Singer sewing machine. In 1968, after studying Art History at university and two years designing clothes for a boutique in California, Char ventured to Guadalajara with her husband Aurelio Vazquez. There, like in the storybook. She took a scrap of leather (instead of a wisp of straw) and turned it into gold. One hand-painted leather handbag grew to become six stores in Mexico and a collection that debuted at the New York Boutique show in the early 70sdepartment store buyers saw the collection and Chars painted bags became an overnight sensation.
