Christian Louboutin, why must you tease me so?

Christian Louboutin, why must you tease me so?

This is getting me in the Christmas spirit. While I'm not sure I actually like this as a bag I would carry, I do adore the idea and the execution. It's just like the old-school gift bow! The kind you buy in bags of 50 and some always get squished. The same ones your grandmother has popped onto your Christmas presents (or sometimes on just a card with a tenner in it) since you were born. You'd peel the back off the sticker and there was always that staple that you had to work around. It still needs perfecting, that tacky Christmas bow.

On second thought, the black is gorgeous. And there's something about navy blue velvet that is very appealing. I had a blue velvet fancy dress when I was really little and I'll never forget it. It had a white bib front trimmed with lace and I think elastic cuffs. And that velvet was THICK. (I can tell you're jealous.) Back to the bags...liking the blue and black is quite unfortunate. Why? Because I can't afford to spend $1000 or near the same in £ on a tiny little bag so it's best I not covet it!

Then again...Christian Louboutin's Viola nappa clutch in blue denim and gunmetal are just amazing (though that python metallic gold is a bit blech). I'm a sucker for anything textural or sculptural and I really want to touch this one:
