Bag
Since super slouchy bags are my current obsession, I clicked on bags that I would not normally pay any attention to; like this Christian Louboutin Saba Water Snake bag here. If you look at the first picture, there is nothing really attractive about it. I thought the shape is kind of odd. Luckily, being the curious person that I am, I clicked more. I actually have faith that Louboutin is very capable of making drool worthy bags.
This is a very casual and easy looking bag. The one that you can wear and instantly have that effortless chic look, even though in reality it takes you an hour to get ready. The color of the bag is very neutral, even though it is not eye popping, it is still very suitable for summer. You can always tone it up by pairing it with bright outfit or tone it down with neutral outfit like the model is wearing. You can pretty much wear this bag all year long.
One concern that I have is the stiff looking shoulder strap. I think it is taking away some of the slouchiness effect of the bag. I would prefer a flatter and supple shoulder strap.
Did you see how Louboutin is applying his signature on his bags? Notice the shoe charm and the red lining; I believe that the red lining is representing the red sole from his shoe line. I must say it is a smart marketing strategy. Given that Louboutin already has one sucessful shoe empire why not remind people of how good he is and how he also is committed to deliver the same level of satisfaction to his loyal customers.
