Louboutin’s Looubiworld collection combines the elegance of the brand’s iconic red and the metallic shine of nickel, enhanced with epoxy or plastic. TNT Global Manufacturing has materialized the brand’s creative design through the collar, made of two pieces – an aluminium chimney and a brass plate, respectively nickel-anodized and nickel-galvanized – and hidden by the 100% recyclable injected zamak cap, once assembled. Each head is embellished with red details in epoxy or plastic. 7 patterns illustrate this fairy collection :
From left to right :
Loubifunk: Pineapple made of 4 zamak pieces including 2 with epoxy inlay inside the top leaves.
Loubidoo: Cat made of 5 zamak pieces. Epoxy ears and red plastic lipstick.
Loubikiss: Mexican style head made of 2 zamak pieces, with lips covered with a thin layer of epoxy.
Loubirouge: Iconic Louboutin stiletto, with heel on Paris, overlooking the globe, made of 3 zamak pieces, and sole covered with a thin layer of epoxy, requiring excellent know-how, relative to the complexity of the surface to be covered.
Loubiraj: Indian tiger made of 3 zamak pieces and a red plastic jewel on the side of the top.
Loubicrown: Crown made of 2 zamak pieces and 4 “precious” stones in red plastic.
Loubicroc: Egyptian crocodile wrapping an obelisk, made of 3 zamak pieces, with epoxy-coated claws on each leg
These caps are the result of extensive study and expertise, specially in unmolding process. They respect the details of the design while limiting the number of zamak parts, like the body of the crocodile, which is made in one piece. It was a great project that also challenged the team for the assembly and polishing processes. Finally, each cap is finished with a red insert, made of PP in red molded color.
