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.

Ladies and gents, take a deep breath before you look at this bag. It is just *that* gorgeous. I need this bag to be mine. I know that we’ve all been debating for quite some time now about “to stud or not to stud”.

However, in this instance, hands down, studding was the way to go. This bag exudes all of the grace, elegance and sexiness that Christian Louboutin has been know for with shoes. And now, with handbags.

The Christian Louboutin Studs Marianna Shoulder Bag boasts a hefty price, but this is a bag I would be willing to save up and then splurge for. While I usually say that too many studs is a bad thing, I don’t think that at all here. I love the mixed size silver metal dome studs all over the black bag. In typical Louboutin fashion, you know you need a splash of red and you will find that with the red cotton lining. Like Louboutin shoes, this bag does not come cheap. But, if you were going to save up for one big handbag purchase, would this bag be in contention?
