Christian Louboutin launches first eyewear collection

7 Apr 2025

Luxury shoe brand Christian Louboutin has diversified into handbags, a full range of accessories, a kid’s shoe line, and bridal footwear. Now, the designer is adding another new category: eyewear. With the plethora of rich brand codes—spike studs, pointy edges a la the stiletto, fishnet pattern designs, metallic finishes, and, of course, those famous, lawsuit-worthy red soles – Christian Louboutin has teamed up with Marcolin to debut its first-ever sunglass and optical collections

With a total of nine sunglass styles in various colorways and four optical styles, the brand will retail from approx. $625 to $875 with distribution online at its dedicated web-store and at Saks Fifth Avenue stores. To celebrate, Marcolin is hosting a New York debut party next week at the trendy The Nines restaurant and piano room, which, fittingly, is doused in red from ceiling to floor.

According to a release, the offerings include women’s and men’s styles and draw inspiration from Christian Louboutin’s work in pursuit of the ‘perfect structural lines. ‘ The eyewear range includes new ZEISS lenses, which provide crystal-clear, comfortable vision thanks to anti-reflective coatings, glare reduction, and durability treatments.
