Here, the design components of the bag are the components of these dancers, backstage in their private dressing rooms where they prepare and transform for the show. For the Paloma, I reminisced about the dark setting, elements of leopard print and the bright shining lights around the dressing mirrors. The Paloma is not about one dancer, all the girls were different with individual characters, but within this setting were classic signs of femininity which they all shared. It is an expression of all the things you would see behind the paravent or screen at the theatre, but also the showgirl herself.  Paloma is a showgirl, the handles are shaped as her dancer's legs, as if slipping through the stage curtain to the audience."

The Paloma bag can marvellously accompany you day-to-day, adding a pinch of vividness, elegance and great class to your look. You can find it in the Christian Louboutin’s boutique in three sizes (small, medium and large), in different leathers and many colors with or without rubber inserts decorations.
