In 1988, Charles Malka made fashion history with the opening of the first Charles David boutique in the almost unattainable block of Hollywood: Melrose and Martel. Closely neighbored to boutiques a la mode, the Charles David name came into fame selling coveted boots and heels to legions of fashionistas and celebrities alike.
The essence of the company's success, according to CEO and President Charles Malka, is the beauty, style, comfort and quality of Charles David shoes. "It is a great satisfaction to play a small role in making a woman feel powerful, romantic and sexy…effortlessly chic. Shoes, as we know, are a love affair."
