Dopamine dressing may have its place, but when it comes to curating a capsule collection to stand the test of time, neutrals still reign supreme. And few examples are quite as covetable as the new Christian Louboutin By My Side edit, a line-up of debossed accessories in classic soft shades that are set to become your wardrobe’s hardest workers.

The ultimate everyday essentials

Encompassing all of the elegance that has long been synonymous with the Christian Louboutin label, By My Side is named for its enduring everyday appeal – these are staples that have been designed with unabashed usability and effortless chic in mind.

The grained calf leather bucket bag, complete with signature metal ring detail, offers ample accommodation for phone, keys, compacts and beyond. The slide-on-and-go mule, meanwhile, boasts a sincerely supportive padded insole, providing comfort regardless of how many steps are on the day’s agenda (no mean feat, even by flat-shoe standards).

Sleek, streamlined and the iconic Christian Louboutin logo complemented with a Sellier twist, it’s hard to imagine an occasion these handcrafted items wouldn’t work for, or other investment buys with potential to deliver such an impressive cost-per-wear quite so quickly. While we predict an inevitable peak in popularity in line with their just landed status, they’re certainly not one-hit wonders, but perennial favourites that will be spotted on those in the know for decades to come.

Rounded out by versatile additions including a compact chain wallet and crossbody phone pouch in the same soothing shades of taupe, black and indulgently creamy leche – all bordered by the hallmark red ‘pop’ that screams Christian Louboutin, of course – By My Side is a launch that makes life easier and more aesthetically pleasing simultaneously. For that, it’s earned a worthy spot on our to-purchase list.
