- The Red Bottom Bestie Brief ðŸ‘
Oh hey Loubi Lover,
Welcome to the first issue of the Red Bottom Bestie Brief (say that 3x times fast)! I'm so freaking excited for this newsletter and to gush about all things Louboutin, Luxury and Lifestyle.
A little word from the RBB Legal team (aka my hubby who just happens to be a lawyer). This newsletter is not affiliated with or sponsored by Christian Louboutin. The words I write are my own and are in no way reflective of the brand.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's get into it!
This newsletter is going to be constantly evolving and will be highly reliant on your feedback so PLEASE respond to this email with questions, comments, feedback, love notes... really anything to help us co-create something fun that you'll want to read every other friYAY!
If at any time you want to shop with me or have questions about products in this newsletter please hit reply or simply text me at 914-439-9527
Let’s Talk TikTok
This week we went viral opening up the Starlight Strass Bootie from SS23 and we also chatted while I was getting ready for the work day. What I love so much about TikTok is that I get to connect with all of you and experience these things in real time together!
I got lots of questions about who the boots were for and the brand of CRYSTAL eye cream I use.
Here are some things you might not know about this stunning collection:
It was inspired by the lights of the Las Vegas Strip and is a member of the Viva Las Vegas collection. While all stores (including mine) received the printed patent leather version of this collection only a few pieces of this strass-covered special edition were created. Some styles were only produced in ONE size run. Meaning there is only ONE pair of shoes per size in the US network and very few worldwide.
The So Kate Booty - $3695
The Hot Chick - $3295
The Dandy Starlight - $3195
The Louis Hightop Sneaker - $3695
If you are dying to get your hands on these collector's pieces please text me at 914-439-9527! Sizes are limited and we can’t wait too long.

What I’m Wearing
Lately, I’ve been loving my Trapman boots. They are super comfy and can be dressed up or down effortlessly. I like to wear them with a pair of slim-fit denim or a high-cut pair of dress slacks.
Most days you’ll find me in a sweater or top by Scotch and Soda. I love their clothing subscription service which allows me to get 3 new pieces of clothing on rotation as many times as I want. It’s called Scotch Select and is for men and women. You can use my referral link to get $10 off your first month!
My other favorite brand right now for Men is an indie designer out of Soho called ORTTU. I’ve been dying for this pearl embellished set to wear to work... should I get it?
I'm not sure it’s the most practical… says the guy who sells sky-high stilettos and loves glitter 🤣
Are you IN or OUT of the Loubi Network?
I’ve been getting a lot of DMs about the difference between shopping in a Louboutin Boutique versus a Department store like Neimans, Saks or Bergdorf Goodman and I’m going to set the record straight.
The biggest difference is ME! Jkjkjkjk I mean, kind of.
Besides the benefit of shopping with someone who is SUPER passionate about the brand (hi, it’s me) there are a couple of important things to know when choosing whether to shop in-store or at a department store.
The Benefits of Shopping at the Boutique
1.) Building your Purchase History
Let’s be clear, I love a first-time shopper just as much as my VIP clients. Every single person who joins my world is special and worthy of an all-star treatment (if you've shopped with me, you know this). With that being said, if you want to create a special order piece with me you will 10/10 need a purchase history with the brand. This isn’t my rule, it’s the brand’s rule.
2.) After-Sales Service
If you need a repair done on your shoes or handbag and you DID NOT purchase them at a Louboutin boutique we cannot service them. Most department stores do not have after-sales service departments.
3.) I work in a boutique 😆
I mean, it goes without saying (even though I already said it) but when we partner together to make your Louboutin dreams come true you are literally working with one of the best and I will do everything in my power to get you what you need.
Now, there are some reasons why you would want to shop at a department store and here they are:
1.) Points and Rewards
If you have a department store card that you get points with and love that life… then that’s a good reason to shop with them too.
2.) Department Store Exclusives
Department stores get different styles and colors than we do in the Louboutin Network. This keeps it fun and fresh for you and casually frustrating for me when I can’t get you what you want because I don’t have access to most department store stock and networks.
Here’s what I know to be true, you get to shop where it feels best for you!
If you like me and want to work with me I will welcome you with open arms. I will also do my best to find what you want (even if it’s only available at a department store… like Stormi’s Christmas Eve shoe).
This brings me to my list of Department store exclusives not to sleep on
This is a list of shoes that I cannot get for you because they live outside of the Louboutin Network, however, since we're besties I want you to have the best of the best and these are some of my faves!
And now for the drumroll moment!
The winner of the Christian Louboutin Coffee Table book was already contacted by email so if it was YOU… YAY! If it wasn’t you…
You can always pick up your own copy on Amazon. It’s super stunning and well worth it! Especially for the collector who loves Louboutin!
The Next Brief is coming in hot on Friday January 27th
I'm thinking about sharing some of my picks from my go to pre-loved website FASHIONPHILE. What do you think? Respond to the brief and let me know!
xoxo,
Paul aka @redbottombestie
