Fans of iconic footwear designer Christian Louboutin can rejoice - a Loubibar themed around those classic red soled heels has launched at the Trafford Centre. And the stylish new fashion cafe has conveniently opened just ahead of Valentine's Day.
It is right next to the accessories hall, should anyone be needing any romantic present inspiration in the week ahead, or simply to gift themselves. The Loubibar has taken over the San Carlo champagne bar for a "limited time" and is styled with classic Loubi red seats to perch on.
Guests can choose from bespoke signature red cocktails inspired by the French maison while glancing over at all the designer accessories all around it on the Selfridges ground floor. It comes hot on the heels of the launch of a dedicated Louboutin Boutique directly opposite in the designer store.

The bar is open from today for the next five weeks. You can head there during the department store's opening hours which are til 10pm Monday to Friday, until 9pm on Saturday and Sundays 11.30am to 6pm.
Announcing the news, the designer firm said in a statement: "Running for a limited time, the bar resplendent in Christian Louboutin’s signature red will serve bespoke cocktails inspired by the French maison.
"Enjoy bespoke cocktail creations including the Rouge Follies; a spin on the classic Cosmopolitan, the Loubifunk mixing gin with aromatic notes of cherry and zesty limes and the Loubidoo; a transportive cocktail laced with coconuts and lime.
"Loubibar’s design incorporates the brands playful wit and charm into its design. The bar, topped with a lit sign recalls a Parisian brasserie whilst the brand’s signature red features throughout the space.
"Seating is available around the bar as well as a number of booths all featuring textiles complimenting the adjacent Christian Louboutin boutique."
Located in the accessories hall on the lower level, Loubibar celebrates the new Christian Louboutin boutique where the designer’s latest Spring collection of signature shoes and accessories are available.
The French designer is known for his classic heels - with his original Pigalle design - a black patent stiletto with bright red sole - now a fashion icon in itself. There's now a dazzling array of designs for both men and women, featuring his trademark design features including studs and sparkles.
The brand is beloved by footballers, WAGs, celebrities and fashionistas and the largest boutique in the north west was opened in Selfridges Exchange Square back in 2015.
Christian Louboutin established his business in the heart of Paris in 1992, first with a collection for Women followed by a Men’s collection a few years later, both recognizable by the signature red lacquered sole. 2014 welcomed Christian Louboutin Beauté, while in, 2022 the House launched a new category dedicated to Kids and Pets: The LoubiFamily.
