Louboutin for Ladurée

19th September 2009

A unique collaboration


What do a luxury pastry artist and a shoe designer have in common? Boxes.
So when the famous “macaroon” house Ladurée decided to collaborate with the king of the red carpet Christian Louboutin, it was obvious that it would end with a serious piece of work!

Three special macaroon boxes


Since September 11th, Ladurée macaroons are coming in limited-edition packages designed by Christian Louboutin himself. There are three different assortments available for 6, 8 or 18 macaroons, each box cover presents an exclusive trompe-l’oeil painting that mocks a scratched macaroon sachet with Louboutin pumps and Ladurée pastries.

For special occasions, special macaroons


Ladurée’s pastry chef, Philippe Andrieu has also teamed with Christian Louboutin to create a series of macaroons refering to the shoe-designer universe with delicate Mediterranean flavors and an homage to the famous red shoe-sole (Louboutin’s brand signature) with fig and date.
