The Christian Louboutin Ginza store, which opened in 2009 as the first flagship shop in Japan, has inspired a unique shoe collection that captures the essence of Tokyo and Ginza, a place of great importance to the brand. This collection is like a time capsule.
"Trash" signifies threads and discarded items. In 1999, Louboutin released mule-style "Trash" shoes, inspired by the 24 hours in the life of an early employee at the Paris design studio. These shoes encapsulated elements of life—Paris Metro tickets, cigarette butts, threads, French coins, buttons—all sealed within vinyl.
Since their debut, the "Trash" series has continued to express specific places and people through a diverse range of styles, including 15cm high heels, men's sneakers, handbags, and playful tablet cases.
The "GINZA TRASH" collection features three main items: the "Vendome" high heel, the "Louis Junior" men's sneaker, and the "Cris Case" bag. Japanese elements such as postage stamps, subway maps, traditional washi paper, humorous stickers, beads, and raw silk are combined with a Parisian flair.
The "GINZA TRASH" collection encapsulates the vibrant and colorful Ginza within its shoes and bags. Discover these beautiful time capsules, capturing moments, places, and eras, at the boutique.
