Christian Louboutin was created in 1992 when the designer opened his first boutique at 19 Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Paris. An artist and craftsman with a true passion for shoes, his designs are unique and instantly recognisable, thanks in part to their signature, trademarked red lacquered soles. Christian Louboutin’s collections for both women and men combine wit, glamour, elegance and technical proficiency like none other.

With a prolific collection of women’s and men’s shoes, day and evening handbags and small leather goods, Christian Louboutin now counts more than 135 boutiques around the world, including several locations dedicated exclusively to men’s and a one-of-a-kind beauty boutique located in the heart of Paris’ 1st Arrondissement, just two doors away from the designer’s first boutiques for women and men.
