CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN BOUTIQUE

SOLE ICONIC

Scottsdale Fashion Square—one of the premier shopping destinations in the nation—just got even more iconic. Christian Louboutin, the brand known for its signature red-soled shoes, recently made its Arizona market debut with the opening of a boutique in the destination’s luxury wing.

The new Christian Louboutin boutique space is bright and airy, inspired by the designer’s holiday home in Portugal, and was imagined as an invitation for clients to experience a relaxed moment of vacation with the designer. Still, the boutique wall features a reimagined version of Louboutin’s quintessential arches from his very first store in Paris, revisited in woven wood for women and diamond ceramics for men.

Find the boutique on the lower level, near the Grand North Entrance. 7014 E. Camelback Road, Scottsdale; www.us.christianlouboutin.com
