Parisian designer Christian Louboutin has made quite a name for himself since his school days, back when he would spend most of his time sitting drawing (not much has changed there, then). Today, he’s the icon that designers learn about, with his raw talent for crafting shoes – just take the Ella style, as an example. Designed with an ankle strap, they’re complete with hand-plaited straps that pay homage to Spanish craftsmanship and left open at the toe. 100% leather Made in Italy True to size Product care – The red lacquer of the soles wears out with use. This is not a manufacturing defect; it is simply normal wear and tear. Christian Louboutin strongly recommends that its customers consult a professional in leather care or a shoemaker for specific care advice. In order to keep your shoes in good condition, the following leather care is recommended: Keep the leather area clean and dry using a dry, soft cloth Always store your products away from light and heat Protect your leather goods from rain and moisture Store your products in the Christian Louboutin dust bag provided Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces Regrettably we are unable to accept in-store returns on Christian Louboutin orders PLEASE NOTE: Due to the delicate nature of the red soles we ask that the shoes be tried on carpeted flooring. If not, they may not be suitable for return
