This season, Christian Louboutin pays tribute to Portugal, its unique craftsmanship and exceptional savoir-faire. Handmade by 11 local craftsmen from all over the country, the PORTUGABA is the latest iteration of Christian Louboutin's iconic summer tote. Crafted from hand-woven, hand-embroidered ecru cotton, its multicoloured wool tassels and fringes are inspired by traditional costumes whilst its ceramic beads and CL coat of arms nod to traditional Portuguese artistry. The inside of the tote reveals an azulejos inspired lining in the style Portugal’s emblematic tiles. Practical and functional, it can be held by its two top handles, or worn crossbody thanks to a removable shoulder strap.

For each PORTUGABA purchased, ten percent will be donated to the Associaçao Portugal A Mao - Centro De Estudos E Promoçao Das Artes E Oficios Portugueses ; to contribute to the realization of projects for the preservation, valorization and promotion of Portuguese crafts.
