The Story of Charlotte
From Norway to Newport Coast,
with chapters in Paris and New York.
Thank you for visiting. I’m Charlotte—a Norwegian-born former ballerina, art lover, and forever in love with New York. Raised in a home filled with music and art, I studied choreography and fine arts and danced in Paris. Ballet taught me to see beauty in the smallest details, and fashion became another way to bring that beauty to life.
Welcome to Manhattan Girl
The places that made me.
Where my story began.
A lifelong source of art and inspiration.
The city that sparked big dreams.
A place of light, family, and everyday beauty.

Our beautiful little world
Newport Coast has become our little corner of magic. With its beautiful beaches, ocean breezes, and weather that draws us outdoors nearly every day, life here has a rhythm we treasure. Some of our happiest moments are the simplest: playing tennis as a family, coming home with sandy toes, and spending afternoons on the boat with our little girl, hoping she’ll be the first to spot a dolphin.
Manhattan will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we travel back often for work and play. We love our familiar New York rituals—shopping at Bergdorf’s, high tea at The Plaza with our little girl, and taking our time to explore Central Park. The coast’s quiet beauty and the city’s unmistakable energy are both woven into the life we love.
Inspired by fashion,
drawn to beautiful details.
My world brings together fashion, art, interiors, and haute couture. I believe in investment pieces—things chosen with care and loved for years, whether it’s a beautifully made coat or a work of art that makes a room unforgettable. Trends fade. Classic style never does.
It began with
a little girl’s room.
The Card Atelier began with my search for art for my daughter’s nursery—something full of wonder, but refined enough to grow with her. Inspired by vintage Paris, heirloom toys, ballet, and European fairytales, I began creating the pieces I couldn’t find.
The collection also celebrates two worlds I adore: high fashion and New York. From the drama of a beautiful heel to the romance of the Manhattan skyline, I want each piece to make a room feel extraordinary—and to be something you fall in love with every time you pass by.
Today, that illustrated world brings together digital cards and art prints: thoughtful ways to celebrate someone you love, or bring a little beauty home.
