In the ‘50s, it was important to always have two cents to hand in case you needed to make an emergency call on public phone lines. Scared that this money would fall out of their pockets, people started to store their coins in the weejuns of their loafers – what would, shortly after, start to be known as the penny slot. To this day, the phenomenon has continued – albeit less as a necessity and more as a fashion statement. This iteration by Christian Louboutin sees this hardware detail brought together with a croc-embossed finish and contrast leather. Please note, Christian Louboutin’s signature red lacquered soles will wear out when tried on a hard surface other than carpet; this is normal wear and tear and is not considered to be a manufacturing defect. Please try these shoes on a carpeted surface, as any damage to the soles may prevent us from accepting returns.
