Christian Louboutin is introducing a new category of children’s shoes and pet accessories.
Within the collection, called LoubiFamily, the line includes kids’ Mary Janes and sneakers, as well as dog collars and leashes. It also has its own unique universe featuring comic book cartoon characters Superloubi, Wonderloubi, and Pilou the Lemur, who can be seen as whimsical prints on styles representing the designer’s imaginary childhood world of adventure and excitement.
