What could be sweeter? Laduree, the French patisserie known for their delectable macaroons, is teaming up with shoe god, Christian Louboutin. Louboutin, famous for his red soled shoes, has created a set of three boxes in which to house the famous confections.
Inside these whimsical boxes, you will get macaroons that have been inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean. Louboutin even worked with Laduree pastry chef Philippe Andrieu to concoct a flavor of macaroon.
This chic pairing of fashion and food will be available starting September 11th.
