Like the young teenage minx who inspired its name, the Christian Louboutin Lolita has come to tempt and tease us.
It’s hard to resist that softly pleated ivory design. The buttery soft leather falls so femininely, and there’s little to detract from it. The shape is simple, and the delicate gold Louboutin nameplate and complementary stitching are subtle enough not to distract.
And you tell yourself that it’s large enough to suit everyday use, and it is. The signature red lining helps to tempt us too, calling to us to make use of those practical zippered and open pockets.
But it’s a bit of a ruse really. This purse is nowhere near as practical as it tries to convince us. How quickly do you think that crisp leather will age if you’re carrying the purse every day? White hides nothing, and without so much as protective feet on the base you’ll really need to handle this delicate creature with care.
And then there are those chain shoulder straps. I love the way the golden links pop against the white leather, but I’d probably hate them by the end of the day. This is definitely a bag that would rather keep up appearances than save your shoulder.
Nevertheless, the Lolita is still calling to me and it’ll take some serious willpower to resist her!
