Christian Louboutin has reopened the doors to its newly reimagined boutique in Toronto.
Originally opened in 2016, the 2,000-square-foot space at 99 Yorkville Avenue has been transformed to “embody the eclectic charm and intimate spirit” of Christian Louboutin’s Paris apartment, the French shoe company said.
Spanning two floors, the boutique presents an extensive selection of women’s and men’s shoes, leather goods, and Christian Louboutin Beaute, which are all artfully displayed within lit arched niches.
The ground floor features the brand’s signature red carpets framed by deep-hued porcelain tiles, complemented by hand-blown glass sconces that illuminates the space.

Ascending to the second floor, guests are greeted by a handcrafted leaf-patterned wall covering by French artist Alexandre Poulaillon. At the top of the staircase, a lounge invites moments of pause, capturing Mr. Louboutin’s vision of a boutique that feels more like the welcoming haven of a dear friend than a traditional retail space. And at the heart of this upper level sits a bespoke table, conceived as an intimate stage for the brand’s admired Special-Order service.
Louboutin’s latest opening comes months after the French label debuted a new 2,500-square-foot boutique at The Domain shopping center in Austin, Texas in May. In celebration of the opening, the Austin boutique also housed an exclusive capsule of nine women’s shoes and accessories that “blend Parisian elegance with Texan spirit,” the company noted at the time.
In December, Louboutin unveiled its remodeled 4,000-square-foot Madison Avenue flagship in NYC, which first opened in 2015. The company said at the time that the boutique at 965-967 Madison Avenue was reimagined to reflect the legendary footwear designer’s love for Egypt and the spirit of a seaside holiday.
“The boutiques should look like a living room where people do not feel like they are in a store but in the home of a friend, who loves them and knows them well,” Mr. Louboutin said in a statement in December.
