At the crossroads of Egypt in all its majesty, Italian craftsmanship and French elegance stands, Elisa.
Launching for Spring/Summer 2020 and inspired in part by the hold that Egypt has had over Christian’s imagination since childhood, this brand-new handbag is already an icon.
But who exactly is Elisa? The bag is named after Elisa Sednaoui, Christian Louboutin’s muse and ambassador but also a mother, model, actress, social entrepreneur and film director of Italian, Egyptian and French descent. Elisa is many women – A celebration of Christian’s love for the multifaceted aspect and plural expressions of femininity, reflected in the various forms imagined for this newest release.
Every single detail invokes the splendour of ancient Egypt, down to its twist lock clasp. Imagined as a mystical talisman, its lines echo the rounded rectangular contours of the pharaoh's cartouche. In keeping with Christian’s lifelong fascination with hieroglyphs, the iconic CL signature is reworked in the shape of a celestial disc. Endowed with an accordion pleat for greater versatility, the simple yet sophisticated architecture of the Elisa bag mirrors the proud lines of the Amon temple in Luxor, a place which Christian holds dear.
Reaffirming the Maison’s roots, Elisa’s flat bracelet-like gold chain speaks of Parisian elegance and doubles Elisa’s purpose as a piece of jewellery. Fitted with a leather pad for ease of wear, this key detail glides freely, allowing for more styling and carrying options in a perfect example of function meets personal flair.
Whether large, small, mini or belt bag, the Elisa adapts to the many lifestyles and needs of the modern woman. The colours and materials too are multiple, ranging from the iconic Louboutin red to softer shades of pink and pale grey.
A love poem to Christian’s childhood fantasy and to women close to his heart, the Elisa bag will be available online from October 29th 2019 and in Christian Louboutin boutiques all over the world from November 2nd 2019.
