Charlton is for those...
Who love travel and adventure. Are inspired by the beauty of nature. Love to indulge in the arts and all things creative. Revel in trying things for the first time. Look forward, never backwards. Adore the ancient world and history. Get lost in their own thoughts. Adore the freedom that comes from sailing into the sunset.
With a true sense of self, and a quiet confidence, Charlton’s client has a curious nature and natural ease about them. Humble, gentle and a little bit of a thrill seeker all at once, they are at one in the ocean or on the land. Under big city lights or a big starry sky.
They aren’t one to just sit in a corner and look pretty – they want to be involved and feel as though they are living in the moment, every moment. They enjoy bold conversation and having their beliefs challenged.
They are generally creative and good at making things – with their hands, their lens, perhaps their drawing pad or with a musical instrument – they create to inspire and fancy the idea of creating some sort of legacy that can be passed down to the next generation one day.
A son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, a father, a mother, independent and easy going, they are a curator, a connector, a connoisseur of the finer things in life.
A provider, a partner, a mate’s best mate, they are well-travelled, cultivated, and have an innate sense of style and charisma.
With an appreciation for that which is aesthetically pleasing, they seek out the unique and hard to find, and are attracted to those possessions that are timeless, and can last a lifetime. They are happy to invest in beautiful things that will bring something special to their chosen lifestyle.
They appreciate good food and treasure the moments spent around the table with family and friends. Fine wine, good music, endless laughter – this is the essence of their contentment.
A lover of the planet, they are conscious of the environment and world politics and like to feel as though they are an active participant in bringing about positive change in the world.
Personal ritual and mindfulness are important. Striving to always be involved in something greater that inspires good, they seek connectivity to a lifestyle that offers consistency, authenticity, beauty, and nostalgia.
