The store features two salons resembling daytime lounges both floored with the Maison’s signature red carpet, drawing inspiration from Christian Louboutin’s holiday house in Portugal.
The store’s façade is made with crimson scales and tiles. The atmosphere inside is bright and airy with beautiful floral wallpaper, illustrated by French artist Alexandre Poulaillon, behind custom banquettes in each salon. The ceiling is constructed from woven raffia and white beams reminiscent of traditional Portuguese fishermen’s huts.
The curved alcoves of the shoe displays draw inspiration from the arched windows at the first Christian Louboutin store at Galerie Véro-Dodat in Paris.
Along with a wide array of men’s and women’s shoes and leather goods, the Phipps Plaza store will carry an exclusive selection of styles featuring a crystal strass heart in the brand’s signature red.
Christian Louboutin established his business in Paris in 1991, first with a collection for women followed by a men’s collection a few years later, both known for the signature red lacquered sole. Christian Louboutin Beauté launched in 2014, followed by a new category dedicated to kids and pets in 2022, The LoubiFamily. Christian Louboutin now has more than 150 points of sales around the world.
