Christian Louboutin is a legendary French luxury fashion house founded by designer Christian Louboutin in Paris in 1991. The brand revolutionized the luxury footwear industry with its iconic red-lacquered soles, which became an instantly recognizable symbol of high-end fashion and status. The signature red sole was born in 1992 when Louboutin spontaneously painted a prototype shoe sole with his assistant's red nail polish, creating what would become the brand's most distinctive feature. Initially focusing on women's stiletto heels and luxury footwear, Louboutin quickly gained a devoted celebrity following and expanded globally. The brand has since diversified beyond shoes into handbags, fragrances, makeup, and men's footwear, while maintaining its reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and bold, glamorous designs. With boutiques in over 46 countries, Christian Louboutin represents the pinnacle of luxury fashion, where traditional French savoir-faire meets innovative design and unmistakable style.
