In 2003, she moved to her new studio on the top floor of the Cantarranas Inn, which she owns with her husband.
In 2011 she changed course and got involved in local politics, and was elected councilor of culture in the municipality of Cuacos de Yuste, Extremadura. After two years in this role, she returned to the world of design, this time with the focus on sustainable design and the environment.
In 2014, she founded “Extremerinas” together with Concha Salguero, coordinator of projects in the Transhumance and Nature Association, based on their shared passion of working with the wonderful merino wool from the pastures of Extremadura. Since then, Charlotte’s work has focused on local production and creating sustainable, aesthetic and functional products, such as wool blankets and garments. For several years she has experimented with Extremaduran merino wool to obtain a superior quality for her products.
The merino wool of the Extramaduran pastures remains at the centre of Charlotte’s, work, with the aim of refining the quality even more, and expanding the collection with other wool products.
