More from Footwear News
Bergdorf Goodman and Christian Louboutin have come together on an exclusive collection.
Made for fans of both brands, the limited collection is part of Louboutin’s signature “Trash” collection and aims to pay tribute to iconic images, logos and objects of both the French luxury shoe company and the American retailer.
The collection includes a total of four shoe styles for women, one bag and one sneaker for men. A standout collector’s item of the range is the “Apostropha Trash” pumps in silk, calf leather, and kid suede. The style features a 3.15-inch stiletto heel, pointed toe and an array of threads, buttons and other small objects adhered to the upper.
Other styles include the “Cuba Libre Trash” sandals in PVC, metallic calf leather, and kid suede, which features a 4.33-inch wedge heel, round open toe and double strap vamp; the “Arte Povera Trash” mules in PVC and kid suede, which features a 2.25-inch kitten heel and square pointed toe; and the “Louis Junior” low-top sneakers in PVC, calf leather, and kid suede.
As for the bag, the collection features the “Bambi Trash” shoulder bag in NYC collage printed PVC and leather, while the men’s style is the “Louis Trash” high-top sneakers in leather and PVC with mixed media insert. The entire range retails between $1,295 and $2,995.
“The collection perfectly fuses Christian Louboutin’s uniquely playful and glamorous aesthetic with Bergdorf Goodman’s signature sense of humor,” Yumi Shin, chief merchandising officer at Bergdorf Goodman, told FN in an interview. “We’re particularly thrilled to be the only retailer to offer this collection because of the way it champions intentional upcycling, something we value deeply. With the customization offering, we’re bringing an immersive and fully one-of-a-kind experience to our customers.”
To celebrate this collection, two of Bergdorf Goodman’s Fifth Avenue windows will be transformed to make the occasion.
“The relationship between Bergdorf Goodman and Christian Louboutin goes back decades and represents a true partnership of ideas,” Shin added. “We’ve done remarkable things with the brand over the years but the one thing that continues to ring true is the customer’s admiration for the product. From the iconography to the quality, Christian Louboutin is a mainstay in the magic of Bergdorf Goodman.”
This collection comes just one month after Bergdorf Goodman sister company Neiman Marcus teamed up with Christian Louboutin for an exclusive collection of animal print shoes and bags for men and women. The duo’s “Animalia” collection spanned 19 pieces including seven women’s looks, six handbags, four men’s shoes, one men’s leather good and one men’s hat.
