Christian Louboutin's La Vie en Inde Celebrates India Through Navratna Hues

Christian Louboutin’s long-standing love affair with India finds new brilliance in La Vie en Inde—a festive capsule inspired by the radiance of Navratna jewels. Each creation in the limited-edition capsule glows with the spirit of India’s opulent textiles and vibrant palette, from ruby reds and sapphire blues to golden yellows and jade greens. “India has always held a special place in my heart—a land where colour is lived, not just seen.

For La Vie en Inde, we placed gold at the heart of the story, pairing it with rich textiles and intricate embellishments that echo the splendour of the Navratna’s nine stones,” says Monsieur Louboutin. We are particularly drawn towards the new avatar of the beloved Pyraclou wedge. Reimagined in radiant Navratna hues, the Pyraclou 110 features slender straps and wedge soles adorned with metallic spikes— merging the exuberance of Indian festivity with Louboutin’s unmistakable edge. The result is both confident and playful, and a dazzling expression of the Maison’s philosophy: where art, culture, and craftsmanship meet in perfect harmony.

Thus, La Vie en Inde feels like more than just a festive capsule; it is a love letter, to say the least. It’s Christian Louboutin in its signature element, soaking in the colour, shine, and sheer mood of India and sending it back out into the world in his own unmistakable style. These pieces don’t just look celebratory; they feel like a celebration in themselves, wrapped in gold, texture, and a whole lot of personality. Whether it’s the reimagined Pyraclou or the jewel-toned accents running through the collection, everything comes together with an effortless kind of glamour. It’s bold without trying too hard, rooted in tradition yet totally fresh. And that’s what makes this capsule stand out—its ability to capture India’s spirit with a wink, a sparkle, and plenty of heart.
