Luxurate

Famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin has launched his own champagne in partnership with eccentric champagne house Piper Heidsieck. To commemorate, they have released a limited edition "Le Rituel" box set resurrecting a ritual of the 1880s that is emblematic of Europe at its peak: drinking from the shoe of a woman. This crystal stiletto designed by Christian Louboutin of course has a red sole like the famous shoes and is included in this limited edition gift box set. Available to pre-order now at wine.com.

Piper-Heidsieck is known for being somewhat "eccentric". In 2007, Viktor & Rolf, the Dutch designers well-known for turning things upside down lent their unique abilities to Rémy Cointreau's Champagne house Piper Heidsieck to create Viktor & Rolf Rosé Sauvage. In true V&R style, the champagne bottle's bottom becomes its top, and its back becomes the front. The accompanying ice bucket and champagne flutes share a similar illusion, with the flute turning upside down into a cocktail glass.
