Limited Edition Louboutins to Benefit Microfinance

Christian Louboutin has designed a special Limited Edition shoe to benefit microfinance, which provides the poor with access to very small loans in order to start and run small businesses. Grameen Foundation is a charity of choice for Mr. Louboutin, as he believes in their core values and admires the initiatives they implement around the globe to provide the world’s poorest, especially women, with access to financing and information, thus enabling them to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

“Peace of Shoe” is a classic, peep-toe platform covered in luxurious silk satin, trimmed with hand stitched and embroidered Indian ribbon. Only 33 pairs were produced worldwide, and each is numbered and signed by Mr. Louboutin. They will be available in champagne (LA, Miami), lavender (Miami), and pink (LA) and will retail for $1,495, with 100% of the proceeds going to benefit microfinance.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
