As the group stages at the 2014 FIFA World Cup are drawing to a close and things start to heat up, luxury accessories designer Charlotte Olympia is celebrating the tournament with a new line of soccer-themed box clutches dedicated to a selection of national teams.

“I am half Brazilian and have three small boys, so I wanted to create this fun and feminine collection to celebrate Brazil hosting the World Cup,” she explained.

The designer has revisited her Pandora box-clutch with a number of national flag designs, to create the perfect accessories for the most fashionable soccer supporters out there.
