Nashville, Tennessee — Luxury footwear brand Christian Louboutin has officially opened its first boutique in Nashville, located at The Mall at Green Hills. The new store spans 2,200 square feet and incorporates unique design elements that celebrate both Louboutin’s artistic vision and the musical heritage of Nashville.
The boutique’s design concept draws inspiration from a Dahabiya, a traditional Egyptian riverboat, which reflects Louboutin’s affection for Egypt. Key design features include arched windows reminiscent of the first Louboutin boutique in Paris, located at the Galerie Véro-Dodat, and a stage-like floor accentuated by the brand’s signature red carpet. Additionally, curved shelving resembles the stringed instruments commonly associated with Nashville’s vibrant music scene.
Inside the boutique, shoppers will find a curated selection of men’s and women’s shoes, handbags, and other leather goods. A notable centerpiece of the store is a circular display topped with a striking brass trumpet chandelier, which further emphasizes the connection to Nashville’s rich musical background. The flooring utilizes boat-style wood decking beneath each display, a nod to Louboutin’s extensive travels and storytelling through art.
As part of the boutique’s launch, an exclusive capsule collection of nine women’s shoes and accessories will be unveiled. This collection highlights a blend of Parisian elegance and Southern flair, featuring styles such as the Desiree boot, Santia Fringe boot, and Kenny’s Hat, a couture cowboy hat. The capsule collection embodies a bold femininity, presenting a distinctive twist on Western fashion that aligns with Nashville’s cultural identity.
The Mall at Green Hills is in the process of transforming, and Christian Louboutin has taken over the space formerly occupied by Banana Republic. This new addition marks a significant step in the mall’s evolution, which has recently attracted several high-end retailers, including Hugo Boss, Marc Jacobs, and Dolce & Gabbana. According to the general manager of The Mall at Green Hills, Norah Buikstra, a new location of Diptyque is also set to open near the Nordstrom store.
The nearest Christian Louboutin outlet prior to this opening was located in Atlanta, making Nashville a key addition to the brand’s retail presence in the U.S. Other cities with Christian Louboutin boutiques include Boston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and various locations in Texas and California, along with stores in Canada. Since its founding in 1991 by French designer Christian Louboutin, the brand has gained fame for its characteristic red-soled shoes, with the price for shoes typically around $1,000 per pair.
As Nashville experiences continued growth in luxury retail, evidenced by the high-end developments in the 12South neighborhood, the opening of the Christian Louboutin boutique signifies the city’s attractiveness to affluent shoppers and fashion enthusiasts alike. With its combination of artistic design, a curated product selection, and exclusive offerings, the new boutique aims to provide a unique shopping experience that feels more like a living room than a traditional retail space.
