About us

The Charles & Ron Café in Naxxar first opened its doors in 2020, bringing the brand’s signature style into a new space inspired by food, community and creativity.

Founded by Charles and Ron themselves, the duo’s passion for flavour is just as bold as their love for fashion. The café reflects the same Mediterranean spirit and effortless sophistication found in their collections. Known for dressing some of the world’s most recognisable names, Charles and Ron have earned international acclaim.

Their designs have appeared in top fashion publications and on red carpets, worn by stars including Ariana Grande, Alessandra Ambrosio, Carrie Underwood, Paula Abdul, Jessie J, Chloe Bailey, the cast of Bling Empire and Never Have I Ever, Brigitte Nielsen, Kelly Rowland, Brandy, Lauryn Hill, Michelle Williams, Ashanti, Tinashe and many more.

Despite their global following and strong ties to Los Angeles, Malta remains the heart of the brand. Charles and Ron continue to draw inspiration from the Mediterranean lifestyle, from its relaxed rhythm to its vibrant palette, infusing every creation with a sense of place and personality.

The café is a natural extension of the Charles and Ron universe. It is a place where fashion, design and taste come together in a way that feels personal, playful and unmistakably Maltese. Every detail, from the curated menu to the branded interiors, echoes the same creative direction seen on the runway. It is more than a place to dine. The café is a space to connect, to share ideas and to be part of a community.

Whether you're meeting friends for lunch or simply enjoying a quiet coffee surrounded by beauty, the Charles and Ron Café is a celebration of style, taste and the art of everyday living.

Be Part Of The "Love Affair"!

Charles van Maarschalkerweerd Borg was born in 1968 and proudly credits his passionate creativity to his Maltese heritage. A self-taught couturier with roots in a family of seamstresses, his earliest influences came from his grandmother and aunties, whose craftsmanship laid the foundation for his lifelong love of design.

In 1992, Charles met Ron van Maarschalkerweerd Borg in Amsterdam. The two connected instantly over a shared appreciation for art, fashion and culture. Soon after, Ron visited Malta, fell in love with the island and decided to stay. Thirty years later, they remain creative and life partners, having built Charles and Ron into Malta’s most iconic fashion brand.

Their collections are unmistakably shaped by the Mediterranean. They are infused with local motifs, sun-washed colours and stories drawn from the island’s rich culture. With a design aesthetic inspired by the bold energy of the 1990s and a focus on timeless wearability, their work continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
