Cindy Crawford Carries Christian Louboutin’s Metallic Hobo
Celebrities love Louboutin, so it was only a matter of time before I spotted his new hot handbag on a star, this is model Cindy Crawford, with a general Spring-is-coming vacation look.
The handbag above is Louboutin’s Metallic Hobo, which sells on Neiman Marcus for $950. There’s also the “Gathered Hobo” with metallic brown leather going for somewhat more at $1020. Buying one would be a not-too-too expensive way of grabbing some star style. And a piece of history, as this gathered design is Louboutin’s first handbag!
Good choice, Cindy.

Dior Gaucho Conversation with the Grouch-o
The Dior Gaucho bag just keeps getting better. When it first came out, ehh not so good. But with style re-inventions there have been improvements, like interesting texture and different straps.
Now they have the classic in a shimmering gold metallic washed calfskin. My BFF’s mother picked that out as her dream bag, and I say “good choice!”
But here’s how the conversation went with my BFF, introduced here for the first time (who otherwise will be known as the Evil Fashionisto! dun dun dunnn).
Ella: “And that’s an It Bag!”
TEF: “A **it bag?”
Ella, ignoring: “I found the price! It’s about the same as my dream quilted Bay; $1760.”
TEF: “**** ****.”
Ella: “It’s less expensive than the Gaucho she liked last trip to Neimans. Over $2,000.”
TEF: “****. Ma, you should get a fake.”
Ma: “I don’t want a fake.”
TEF “No, don’t they have inspireds?”
Ella: “Yeah, I can find one for you, without metallic leather though, probably on ASOS.”
TEF: “What’s that, pesos? It’s for pesos? That’s a perfect price!”
Ella, laughing: “That’s priceless. Ooh, get it?!”

Introducing Christian Louboutin’s First Handbag
It’s a summery tote with gold metallic fabric. It’s quite trendy, I suppose, but that won’t cut it. Where are the Louboutin signature elements? They should think of some – I can:
They have platform shoes, espadrilles, and wedges right? So the bags could be raffia, have wooden elements, or even have pockets on the bottom a la the Zippy by Chloé. That compartment could be a different colour – a tan, perhaps in raffia?
Then of course all Louboutin shoes have the red sole – I think bags could be subtler; red fabric lining. That is a definite must and I will lose all hope if all bags don’t have that already. (The store description doesn’t say.)
The details it does have are a chain drawstring strap, nice, gotta hand them that – but then a dangling key charm? Everyone does that!
Oh sigh, why am I such a better designer than the professionals? Hmm? I need this job and this job needs moi!
The plus side, this seemingly (Neimans doesn’t give size) roomy bag costs only $950.
