Christian Louboutin is one of the world’s most well-known shoe designers; the red soles of his designs have become synonymous with luxury and celebrity. Louboutin now sells over one million pairs of shoes a year. The company sells in approximately 150 department stores and self-branded boutiques in over 35 countries.

Christian Louboutin opened his first store in Paris in 1992; his red-soled shoes, handcrafted in Italy, were soon taken up by Hollywood actresses and Paris’ fashion establishment. The designer believes that his shoes have the ability to "make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as [he] can."

• Any pair of Christian Louboutin’s up to the value of £600
