Christian Louboutin Recycles

March 20, 2009 by WendyB

I’m amused by the Christian Louboutin Barneys Trash Shoe.


The Barneys website notes that each PVC-coated “couture trash peep toe pump” uses a “unique selection of Barneys’ materials” to create a one-of-a-kind design. The shoe is available at Barneys.com for $995.

    HAHAH

    I don’t mind him going naked as long as he maintains that hot body of his xD

    Its so interesting to see his ‘pre’ days back when he had funny hair and a frumpy body compared to his new self 😛

    They are very amusing. They look too clean for “trash,” though.

    Wait a tick- they are actually made out of recyclable materials? Trash?
    I’m amazed!
    I also can’t believe the price tag if so!

    Great looking trash. The pricetag is a bit steep though.

    What a price tag, but they are louboutin so it’s okay.

    I like the shoes, but I think that’s impulsive. If I were to look at these shoes for a while and be able to ponder them, I suspect I’d be moved to indifference.

    Recycling is bloody expensive, I tell ya 😉
