The "Pirotan" Bag: A Pillow to Embrace






From Christian Louboutin's Spring/Summer 2016 collection, the "PI LOUTIN" bag, a portmanteau of "pillow" and "Louboutin," is designed to be held like a pillow. This soft, treasure-chest-like clutch, inspired by the enchanting fairytale Cinderella, evokes a magnificent pillow adorned with a magical glass slipper. Following its swift rise to popularity, the "Pirotan" welcomes three new designs for Autumn/Winter 2016.

The "Piloutin Spikes" expresses spice, fire, and wild magic, featuring 2,437 iconic spikes meticulously hand-applied by skilled artisans onto black nappa leather. Inspired by the "Haute Époque" period, when spikes were frequently used as ornamentation on furniture from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, this bag embodies his strong conviction to liberate ornamentation from its symbolic constraints. The playful leopard print also evokes the cabaret showgirls who have always been Christian Louboutin's muses.

Meanwhile, the dazzling "Piloutin Strass" is a mystical bag that evokes the vast ocean, bringing good fortune like an amulet. Sparkling Swarovski crystals adorn black suede calfskin, with a rich color palette creating a beautiful gradient from Ronsard pink to night blue that captures the eye. Reflecting light from various angles like a shimmering water surface, it is sure to enhance any look, no matter the outfit.

Adorned with sequins, beads, mirrors, and delicate hand embroidery, the "Piloutin Maharaja" is an homage to the classic craftsmanship of India, created as a tribute to the Nawabs. Louboutin, captivated by the intense colors and brilliance, was inspired by antique ribbons he personally acquired. Due to the limited quantity of ribbons, this bag is a limited edition, with each piece being unique, making it exciting to find your very own "Piloutin Maharaja."

Each bag in the "Pirotan" series incorporates Louboutin's beloved elements—embroidery, leopard print, strass, and spikes—with a unique interpretation. They are inspired by the streets of Paris, where Louboutin grew up, and his exotic journeys to other countries and cultures. The red lambskin lining pays homage to Louboutin's iconic red soles, and the signature charm engraved with the logo is also a distinctive feature. This is an item to incorporate as an iconic bag that adds an edge to any ensemble. The "Pirotan" bags are available at Christian Louboutin directly managed stores.
