With Spring 2010 collections available for preorder, including this Christian Louboutin’s Ribbon and Chain Bag ($695 at Neiman Marcus), it looks like I’ll need to wait a few more seasons.    I feel like Uncle Scrooge for saying this, especially since it’s the holidays.  The bag is quite festive looking, but when I think of Louboutin, the word sexy typically comes to mind.  This handbag is more matronly to me.   Now, if Louboutin were to release a jewelry line like the shoe charms printed on this bag, it might be something I would go for.

When Christian Louboutin branched out into handbags a few seasons ago, I was less than enamored.  I was hoping that, with time and more experience, the handbags would become as gorgeous as the shoes were.
