Bubbly mum-of-two Charlie Collins has always followed fashion and now she's helping others to take a leaf out of her book.

The stylish 32-year-old has launched her own fashion business and is one of the newest stallholders at Alsager's Wednesday weekly indoor market.

Charlie works as a teaching asistant but on her day off, she can be found at Alsager Civic displaying her latest finds with CLC Styling.

The fun-loving mum from Barley Croft, Alsager spends part of her weekends visiting wholesalers in Manchester and has set up a Tik Tok account and a Facebook page to sell her clothing.

"I never buy anything I wouldn't wear myself," said Charlie mum to Jayden (7) and Archie (3). "I've always followed style. "I am a fan of Adam Frisby who founded his company in his bedroom with just £1,000."

Charlie, who studied psychology and criminology at Liverpool John Moores University, is also an occupational therapy champion.

Her home is packed with clothing which she takes to the Wednesday weekly market and she will also be at the indoor market for Alsager Christmas lights switch-on.

"I love doing this and it fits it well with family life and work," said Charlie who grew up in Alsager and went to Alsager School.

"I get school holidays which allow me time to do things and work on this. It's just a fun thing to do."
