Christian Louboutin Loubiday Framed Pony Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Christian Louboutin Loubiday Framed Pony ClutchThe Christian Louboutin Loubiday Framed Pony Clutch is made with such fine, shiny Italian pony hair that from afar, it looks like satin.

It certainly doesn't feel like satin!

Along with the Prada Visone Mink Hobo, fur and short-hair bags are looking to be a big trend for this coming fall. This clutch is a smart evening accessory to choose, as it will go with brown, black, gold, and virtually any color. It's a bit larger than you might think at 10½"W X 6"H X 3"D, but still has that prim stiletto kiss-lock closure we love, and a firm goldtone frame to keep it all together. The best feature? The near-symmentrical pattern -- slightly different on every bag.

The Christian Louboutin Loubiday Framed Pony Clutch is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,595.00.

Filed under: Dining

louboutin laduree boxesFashion and food meet in the adorable new boxes that shoe god Christian Louboutin has created for Laduree, the French maker of delicately delicious macaroons. There are three different gift boxes decorated with Louboutin shoes and purses. The lid is designed to have a torn trompe l'oeil effect that gives a hint as to the contents. Vogue UK reports that the macaroons inside have Mediterranean flavors courtesy of pastry chef Philippe Andrieu. The treats will be available from September 11 and will start at £9.80 for a box of six.

Christian Louboutin Adona Flat Sandals

Filed under: Shoes

When it comes to Christian Louboutin, I immediately think of high heeled red sole shoes. I never think of flats. Honestly I didn't even realize that Mr. Louboutin even made flats until I found myself browsing through Saks Fifth Avenue. The Adona flats are not your ordinary flats. And why would we expect anything less than fabulous and head turning when coming from the creative mind of Christian Louboutin? These aren't the flats that you can just throw on while walking home from work or while running errands – and with a price tag of $1265, you may not want to run these beauties into the ground. These gorgeous flats have more spunk and unique detailing that make them stand apart from the rest. Reminiscent of his Dillian Heels that we featured, the Adona flats has a similar ruffle detailing but with shiny metallic leather. Pair with sun dress, shorts & tank or virtually any outfit because it will be these shoes that will add the perfect finishing touch to your outfit.

Christian Louboutin Cadeau Bow Kiss-Lock Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Christian Louboutin Cadeau Bow Kiss-Lock ClutchThe Christian Louboutin Cadeau Bow Kiss-Lock Clutch is a scrumptious little bag -- it's almost pretty enough to eat.

This clutch is made with luscious blue velvet (someone should send one to Isabella Rossellini), in a rich, warm shade you almost never see. This color is an excellent choice, as it's dark, but not so dark it would clash with black. It would also work well alongside most shades of blue, as it is so unusual.

We all love the signature Christian Louboutin kiss-lock stiletto heel closure, and it works perfectly on this bag, which looks like an antique or something a European princess might have carried once and then donated to a museum. The harshly abstract design coupled with the soft, stroke-me texture make this bag a true masterpiece.

The Christian Louboutin Cadeau Bow Kiss-Lock Clutch is available for pre-order from Neiman Marcus for $945.00.

Mount Street Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


There is certainly no shortage of either color or femininity in this Mount Street Bag by Christian Louboutin! Bright fuschia petals cover practically every visible surface for a fun, flouncy effect that's the perfect burst of flirt for any occasion. Of course it features Louboutin's signature red as a lining and his signature shoe clasp fastening on the top, plus a delicate silver bead handle and a single interior compartment.

I think the pink is great but would love to see it in other colors too. $1,495

Christian Louboutin Schoolita Framed Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Christian Louboutin Schoolita Framed BagThe Christian Louboutin Schoolita Framed Bag is elegant enough for the evening, yet casual enough for daytime wear.

The graceful shaping with the metal plates (balanced by metal feet you can't see in this image) is echoed in the pleating and stitching, giving the purse a very deliberate, contained feeling. The bag is 15"W X 12"H X 5½", with 7" drop double handles, and made from soft, Italian calf. There's a surprise inside -- the lining is blood red cotton! The inside also has a cell phone and zipper pocket. We love the fanciful little stiletto signature charm. This bag would be great with stilettos under jeans or with a fitted dress.

The Christian Louboutin Schoolita Framed Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,495.

Is Christian Louboutin Making A Sneaker?

Filed under: Shoes

louboutin sneakers
The fashion world is buzzing about the prospect that Christian Louboutin, famed for red-soled high heels, is coming out with a sneaker. Grazia spotted the leopard-print high-tops at a press day event. No word on price yet but I'm guessing these will be hot sellers. Now the big question is whether or not the bottoms are red.

Christian Louboutin Satin Petal Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Christian Louboutin Satin Petal BagThe Christian Louboutin Satin Petal Bag is a frilly little thing, perfect for an evening of dancing or the opera. It is small, just 9" x 5" x 3", but substantial enough in its texture for carrying even with a chiffon, organza, or brocade dress.

The elegant clasp at the top is actually shaped like two tiny stiletto heels, back to back. There is a chain link shoulder strap with a 16" drop tucked inside this whimsical little purse, in case you want to dangle it and let the airy, black satin petals flutter.

Another thing you don't see inside the Christian Louboutin Satin Petal Bag is the brilliantly red silk satin lining, which lends it a luxurious, sexy, old-Hollywood glamor.

The Christian Louboutin Satin Petal Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,495.

Christian Louboutin's $5,660 Shoe

Filed under: Shoes

So I'm feeling a bit deflated because I thought these shoes, from Christian Louboutin, which are sold in UK pounds (£3,975) but at today's USD price (according to OANDA) are $5,660, were pricey. And then I saw this post from my colleague Rigel. I'm willing to bet, however, that for many of us, $5,660 is still a chunk o' change for shoes.

Only 36 pairs of these Marie Antoinette-inspired shoes are being made in each color -- ballerina pink, bright yellow, and blue. That means that only 108 women (unless you buy multiple pairs) will have the opportunity to (try to) walk in these high-heeled creations, which are embroidered by Jean-Francois Lesage, a man behind many a couture gown, and decorated with crystals and ribbons. If you prefer to keep these showpieces safe in their box each night, no worries -- they come with a special box.

Available February 24 at a Louboutin boutique near you.

Aionoued Bow Clutch in Satin, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

aionoued bow clutch
We originally covered the Aionoued Bow Clutch back in May when it was featured in chic black alligator leather (and cost a steep $4,190), but as with many things now that the design has been out for awhile the more affordable versions are becoming available. For this Christian Louboutin clutch that means pretty black satin instead of leather, which is just as stylish but cuts the price significantly. It has all the same features, including a hidden magnetic closure and the signature Louboutin red as a lining. $725

Barbie Gets Louboutin Pumps for Her Birthday

Filed under: Shoes

Barbie gets all the good stuff: Ken, the Barbie Dreamhouse, any career she wants, and now a pair of Christian Louboutin designer pumps created just for her.

Barbie turns 50 next year and as part of the celebration Louboutin will be designing her a special pair of pumps in her signature color: Barbie Pantone 219 Pink. Mattel Inc. is planning a special runway fashion show next February that will feature 50 models all wearing Barbie-inspired outfits and, of course, the pink Barbie Louboutin pumps.

I wonder if they'll have little red plastic soles?

Maykimay Strass Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I'm all about the Christian Louboutin clutches lately and this one is no exception. The Maykimay Strass Clutch appears metallic at first glance and closer inspection reveals thousands of shimmering black diamond rhinestones. Very classic but certainly not understated, this clutch is the perfect answer to needing a neutral but not wanting to settle for boring. And since it's by Louboutin you'll be finding reasons all night long to look inside and have an excuse to use the miniature shoe zipper pull and flash the signature bright red interior lining. $2,625
