Le Rituel by Christian Louboutin
Shoemaker Christian Louboutin has created a glass slipper that connotes both a Cinderella fantasy and Parisian decadence, says Elva Ramirez from The Wall Street Journal Blog, Heard on the Runway.
The shoe flute is packaged as part of the $500 Le Rituel gift set, which also includes a bottle of champagne. It will only be sold in select Neiman Marcus stores and online.
Drinking out of a lady’s shoe is a tradition that dates to the 1880s, when Russian counts celebrated ballerinas by drinking out of their toe shoes.
The tradition was later picked in Belle Epoque Paris on the stages of the Folies Bergere and other cabarets.
