A new pop-up bar has arrived at Selfridges Manchester Trafford inspired by the red-soled heels that Christian Louboutin is so famous for. Known as Loubibar, very close to the name of Louboutin’s eau de parfum Loubimar, the bar will serve bespoke cocktails taking inspiration from the French fashion house and their luxurious £700 shoes. Taking over the accessory’s hall on the lower level of the department store for the next five weeks, opposite a new Christian Louboutin boutique, guests can pull up a seat on one of the plush velvet stools at the signature red bar.

Loubibar celebrates the boutique’s arrival, where the designer’s latest Spring collection of signature shoes and accessories are now on display. At the 360 cocktail bar, shoppers can enjoy bespoke cocktail creations including the Rouge Follies (a spin on the classic Cosmopolitan), the Loubifunk (mixing gin with aromatic notes of cherry and zesty limes) and the amusingly named Loubidoo (a ‘transportive’ cocktail laced with coconuts and lime). The design of Loubibar incorporates the brands playful wit and charm into its design.
