Welcome to my world
Charm and Delight is a Sydney-based studio making bag charms, jewellery and treasures.
Each one made by hand for the people and moments that deserve a little more joy.
Made for Giving (and Keeping)
Sized, priced and packaged for gifting — or for the quiet pleasure of treating yourself.
Genuinely One of a Kind
Colours, beads and small details shift piece to piece. What you receive is yours alone.
Hi, I’m Lara.
I make beautiful things intended to charm and delight.
I started Charm & Delight as I was ending a long legal career that I had outgrown.
I have always had a creative soul, and as my profession started to feel empty, I turned more and more often to what I still thought of as "my crafting hobbies."
I adore giving gifts and I was always planning my next project around something to give to someone in my life that would evoke for them the small, everyday moments of delight I was experiencing less and less myself.
That's the whole idea behind Charm & Delight. Not grand gestures. Not (just) special occasions. Treasures designed to sit somewhere you'll catch sight of them without meaning to. On your bag. In the mirror. Around your wrist as you type. Beautiful, considered, and made to be genuinely yours.
I design every piece, source and select the materials, then string, knot and connect it all myself, one piece at a time — no factories, no templates, no two pieces ever quite the same.
I'm often at markets across Sydney with the full collection in person — there's nothing quite like holding a piece before it's yours. And if you can't make it, I read every message and comment myself, so don't be a stranger.
