Christian Louboutin has turned out heels in leather and silk, but he’s adding a new
material to his portfolio: glass. For a new collaboration with champagne-maker Piper-Heidsieck, Louboutin created a glass slipper that connotes both Cinderella fantasy and
Parisian decadence. The shoe flute is packaged as part of the $500 Le Rituel gift set,
which also includes a bottle of champagne. It will only be sold in select Neiman Marcus
stores and online at www.le-rituel.com. Drinking out of a lady’s shoe is a tradition that
dates to the 1880s, when Russian counts celebrated ballerinas by drinking out of their
toe shoes.-Wall Street Journal
