Chase Cohl

Musician; Owner & Designer, Littledoe Accessories. Los Angeles

Chase Cohl’s home was filled with the sweet smell of incense, oversized taxidermy, raw crystals, surrealist Salvador Dali-esque lip chairs, floral headpieces, guitar, banjos, ukuleles and of course, a kazoo. Oh, and did we mentioned she’s got a tepee pitched out back? In simple terms, Cohl is a modern-day flower child.
Cohl practically grew up backstage, alongside names like The Rolling Stones and U2, thanks to her dad, legendary touring impresario, Michael Cohl (yes, the former chairman of Live Nation). “I am quite sure I wore pyjamas to my first 500 concerts (I was an infant), but I remember being about six and taking naps in the bleachers at Pink Floyd rehearsals in a full onesie.” Music and artistry is practically embedded in her DNA. During our shoot, Cohl serenaded us with melodic tunes on her guitar.
In addition to her accessories line, Littledoe (more on that in a minute!), she’s also a talented folk musician. In fact, you can expect to hear some of that magical new stuff soon. “I am writing like a madwoman these days, working on a number of new musical projects,” Cohl confessed. Her musical influences collide with her fashion ones: Billy Gibbons, Bryan Jones, Robert Plant and Joni Mitchell. We could totally see them rocking her line, Littledoe, which consists of Native American-inspired hippie headpieces, raw crystal jewellery, adorned feather hats and floral lingerie. (Fun fact: Littledoe is a lake in Algonquin Park, Northern Ontario, Canada, where Cohl spent her summers as a child.) Her latest collection, “a complete kaleidoscopic acid-soaked mind trip,” is sure to take you on walk down Woodstock lane. Cohl’s Boho vibe is a modern take on the 60s: fringed Isabel Marant sweaters and booties, flowy, floral vintage dresses, whimsical floppy hats and lacy frocks. And with a wardrobe like this, Cohl is Coachella-ready at all times.

The bulk of people I look to for inspiration are male musicians. They have that effortless look that is total perfection to me. My biggest style icons would have to be Billy Gibbons, Bryan Jones and Robert Plant. They knew how to throw on the perfect pair of black pants or bells with some fantastic little jacket and a great pair of flat boots.

I have been using the same skincare lines for years. Yon-Ka and Guinot make the best face masks in the universe, which is essential because I travel so much. I use Mustela lip and cheek balm. It’s actually meant for infants but it smells like a dream and looks like baby deodorant.

These are a sneak peek into my newest collection with Littledoe. It is a complete kaleidoscopic acid-soaked mind trip. The necklaces I make are from raw chakra crystals, which I source on my travels.

These pants are absolutely wild. They can be spotted from a mile away which can be a blessing and a curse, but they are handy when someone’s trying to track me down at the airport. I like to play a bit of everything. Mainly I play guitar, banjo and ukulele, with occasional dulcimer, piano, chord organ, tambourine, and of course, the kazoo.

I found this musical cigarette dispenser at a shop in Haight-Ashbury. It’s from the 1940s. I imagine it’s quite haunted, but then again, my whole house is, so what’s one more ghost to add to the party?

I am constantly cooking. I like to know what goes into the food I eat. My friends and I are always reading up on recipes and having wine-soaked fireside dinners in the cabin. This photo is also by Henry Diltz. Dylan and Harrison, seriously, two of the foxiest men there ever were.

I am particularly interested in psychedelic era literature like Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley. I also read a ton of Native American mythology and poetry, which is what I studied in college.

I live for sheer antique floaty dresses. My closet is stuffed with them and I collect vintage pieces wherever I go. They are perfect in the summer with little shorts underneath. I found the mirror years ago in a furniture store in England and waited months for it to escape the grasp of the customs agents.

Curtis is one of my favourite people. He made this for me in his studio on one of the hottest days ever. I was obsessed with the dye pattern of a larger canvas so he ripped it off and painted on it for me. I am a whiskey drinker through and through: Jameson for mellow nights in the canyon and Fireball when I feel like gettin’ real trashy.

Those suitcases came from Necromance on Melrose. I have a pair of earrings from there as well that are made out of taxidermy squirrel’s feet. Needless to say, it’s a strange and mystical little boutique.

My style is a complete mix of vintage bohème and modern pieces. I think mixing the two helps to avoid looking too costume-y. Nothing highlights an incredible antique coat like a simple pair of pants and a T-shirt.

I started Littledoe in 2008 on a total whim. It has been an incredibly strange and magical journey that I hope to continue for years to come. The inspiration for my work always comes back to the ladies of the canyon…the image of a beautiful barefooted young lass wandering up and down the boulevard in a tattered gown with flowers in her hair.

Hat, Littledoe

Being a milliner, I’ve got piles and piles of hats. There’s something about a great hat that can immediately change your whole look, something mysterious and classic.

I found the goat head at the back of a flea market in LA and carted it around in 90-degree weather until I could make it to my car. That thing has been back and forth between New York and LA almost as much as I have. My mantle is scattered with loads of little treasures from my life: candles burnt to the heart, heaps of raw crystals, an owl hairspray cover from the ’60s, but my favourite is a little glass bottle with handmade angel wings in it that was given to me as a gift a few years back.

This photo came to me as a total fluke. I had spent months and months picking out one piece of art from Henry Diltz’s archive and finally settled on a photo of Neil. When it arrived at my house after weeks of anticipation, they had printed and framed the wrong photo but I didn’t have the heart to tell them. I gave it a chance and totally fell in love with the photo; I guess we were meant to be. I feel so connected to art that features Canadian musicians livin’ out in California, because that’s my story as well.

I bought these boots in New York about five years ago. They were a special treat after my first big sale with Littledoe. They have been totally beat to shreds and all my friends have attempted to steal them, but they are such a good throw-on boot. I’ll usually throw them on when I’m feeling blah, with some ratty long skirt or a pair of black skinnies.

I found these lips in a junk store up the street from my apartment in New York. They are paper-mache and reminded me of childhood art classes so I had to drag them home with me.

Dress, Isabel Marant

I wore these to an event last year on one of the rare occasions that I got really dolled up. I wore them with a Phillip Lim dress that was a runway sample. They are the most dainty and beautiful shoes. I want to have tea with them.

This dress was made by some beautiful California ladies that I know who run a line called Stone Cold Fox. I just got back from the Oregon Country Fair where, no matter how wildly I seem to dress, I always end up feeling like a total square. People walk around buck naked with their bodies painted and animal tails on like it’s nothing. It is such a strange and special experience to be a part of.

My friends and I built the tepee and painted it. We had absolutely no idea what we were doing but it has been the perfect addition to my life. It’s like a weird little sanctuary filled with cushy pillows and spider webs. I honestly don’t know what lives in there. This dress is so tattered and shredded that it looks like I was attacked by a lawn mower while wearing it. But the material is so beautiful that I can’t let go of it.

This couch stays far in the background because it’s just so horrendously uncomfortable to sit on. But it’s such a special homage to Dali that I had to own it.

Honest to goodness, I cannot remember where I bought these shoes, but I remember pining after them for a very long time. On days that I feel like dressing up like Billy Gibbons, they work perfectly with black pants and a western shirt.

This backyard is overflowing with weird memories. It lends itself perfectly to whiskey-filled sing-alongs and late night streaking around the tepee.

I am writing like a madwoman these days, working on a number of new musical projects. I just finished my first full-length record, so that will be released sometime in the near future. I am quite sure I wore pyjamas to my first 500 concerts (I was an infant), but I remember being about six and taking naps in the bleachers at Pink Floyd rehearsals in a full onesie. I still love a good onesie.

I am completely mad for shoes. I have no idea where the addiction stems from, but my tea cupboards are overflowing with them. I usually stick to the same shape, which is a flat pointed ankle boot, usually by Isabel Marant , Chloé, Tabitha Simmons or Giuseppe Zanotti. Those live on my feet from day to night, but the occasional heel finds its way into my brain and sticks there.
