Pop-up store Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin inaugure sa première boutique éphémère dédiée aux sacs

Du 11 février au 31 mai, à Paris

 

 

 

C’est dans son fief, au coeur de la Galerie qui a vu naître sa Maison il y a plus de vingt ans, que Christian Louboutin a choisi d’ouvrir le 11 Février 2014 sa première boutique éphémère entièrement dédiée aux sacs.

Après avoir proposé à ses clientes des pochettes du soir pour accompagner idéalement ses souliers, le créateur n’a cessé d’étoffer sa gamme, de développer des cuirs exclusifs, de travailler de nouveaux détails de métallerie, dévoilant chaque saison des collections qui ont petit à petit pris leur indépendance.

Tout comme la maroquinerie est devenue au fil des ans une extension évidente des souliers de la Maison, ce nouvel espace complète naturellement les premières boutiques Femme et Homme de la Galerie Véro-Dodat, faisant du Passage un lieu incontournable et la vitrine privilégiée de l’univers de la marque.

Sur les branchages printaniers qui tapissent les murs de cet écrin de 30 m ², sacs et oiseaux semblent prêts à prendre leur envol… Ou à se laisser apprivoiser.

Cinq familles emblématiques de la ligne de maroquinerie Christian Louboutin seront exposées. L’incontournable Sweet Charity, dont le noeud de métal a depuis longtemps conquis le coeur des afficionados de la marque, et le Sweety, petit format à porter en bandoulière. Le Khepira, nouveauté de l’été 2014, orné d’un fermoir en scarabée qui pimente ses lignes chics, et sa déclinaison en taille pochette. Le citadin Panettone, aux courbes doucement arrondies, dans sa version sac de jour ou portefeuille, ajouré d’oeillets ou hérissé de spikes. Le Loubiposh, qui mêle piquant et souplesse, et enfin la pochette Riviera, format idéal et couleurs contrastantes, dont le jeton de casino ferme comme un clin d’oeil le rabat en cuir.
