we're Obsessed!

Anyone who's ridden the rush hour subway or navigated N.Y.C. foot traffic with me knows I'm not to be messed with. Crossing my path might be a particularly precarious endeavor were I carrying Christian Louboutin's spiked water snake tote. Jagged gold points add an element of danger to an otherwise ladylike bag, while a locking zipper reinforces the security of this armed accessory. The result is a design that warns: "Look all you want, but definitely don't touch."
