The Louboutin Pigalle pump: An object of desire

It is in the imagination of Christian Louboutin child that the pump finds its origins. One day, while walking at the Throne Fair, he is intrigued by a woman's 50s style shoes. Hypnotized by his singular approach, he follows her gaze before understanding that it is a prostitute. A moment that will remain etched in his memory.

Years later, the young boy who became a designer is immersed in this childhood memory and draws the Pigalle stiletto. A model of extreme femininity paying tribute to the sulphurous Parisian neighborhood.

Distinctive sign of Louboutin creations, the red sole has become the signature of the French label. A stroke of genius of the creator who came to him while watching his assistant varnish the nails of a bright red.

Prized by stars around the world, from Dita Von Teese to Kate Moss, it magnifies the feet of those who dare to climb to the top of these vertiginous heels.
