Christian Louboutin Introduces The "Peace Of Shoe" For Charity

The "Peace Of Shoe" is so gorgeous and fashionable, I want to have it as the first time I saw it, because I think they are really adorable. I don't know whether I will wear it or not when I have it next week, maybe I will wear it when I stay with my friends and families, maybe I will wear it when I'm alone.

If you're looking for a present that gives back this holiday season (or your girlfriend is), then allow us to introduce you to the fully splurge-worthy and entirely to-die-for Religious Louboutin "Peace of Shoe," with 99% of the proceeds benefitting microfinance in deprived places.




When Mr. Louboutin read Creating a World Without Poverty, an influential book by economics professor and Grameen Bank founder Muhammed Yunus, he became inspired by the volume's ideals and decided to design a shoe to benefit the world's poorest people. The result is "Peace of Shoe," a classic satin peep-toe platform that's hand-stitched and ribbon-trimmed. Only 33 pairs have been produced, and each is numbered and signed by the designer.

And while the $1,495 price tag is certainly eye-opening (and, let's face it, more than most people will spend on shoes in a lifetime!), it's a splurge to be made in good conscience, 100% of the shoe's proceeds will benefit microfinance via the Grameen Foundation, which provides poor people in remote areas small loans to start businesses and eventually support themselves.

The shoes above will debut this week at the New York and California stores, and will come in champagne, mauve, and hot pink. Hey, if you will be wasteful about your shoes this season, you might as well make a difference while doing it, right? 

As I think, The "Peace Of Shoe" is really a good gift with a charity angle this holiday season, well, I love those taupe ones the most. And if I had 1000+ bucks to spend on shoes and free time, I'd buy them whether it was for charity or not, what's more, I think The "Peace Of Shoe" is worthy to collect.
