Christian Louboutin is proud to announce the launch of a new retail space dedicated solely to the brand’s bags and small leather goods collections. This launch represents the first of its kind globally and reflects the growing importance of this category for the brand.
The bags concession will be located on the ground floor of Harvey Nichols’ prestigious flagship store in Knightsbridge, London, and will open its doors to the public in late January with the Spring Summer 2014 collection.
Highlights of the launch collection include updated classics such as the Sweet Charity handbag, fabricated from soft calf form fitting leather developed exclusively for the brand, and versatile Panettone offered in monochrome color block alongside delicate multi-color pastels.
The minimalist design of the new Khepira shoulder bag, is the perfect combination of functionality and elegant design. Crafted in rich calf leather, its concealed pockets, roomy interior and adjustable straps make this an ideal day bag while the precious brass scarab beetle clasp adds an element of the exotic. This beautiful clasp found its inspiration in Mr. Louboutin’s love of ancient Egypt, where scarabs were often used as amulets and served as symbols of protection.
For evening, the Loubibow transforms a classic black satin clutch into the ultimate statement clutch while the iconic Riveria clutch is renewed for the spring in a soft gold and silver glitter finish. Small leather goods include the spiked Cris case available in chic black matt python for office to out, and the panettone wallet in multi coloured spikes for spring wardrobes.
The move to launch Christian Louboutin’s first ever bag concession at Harvey Nichols extends further the long-standing relationship with the prominent department store - Harvey Nichols being the brands first ever UK stockist in 1995 and the location of the first shoe concession in 2007.
The bag concession will see Christian Louboutin working once more alongside London architects Pentagram, with lead architect Will Russell collaborating closely with the designer on the concept and build to deliver an innovative and unique space which offers a fresh take on the labels instantly recognisable and immersive retail environments.
