Meet Farida

Just in at the Christian Louboutin stores in Dubai: the Farida bag - which I honestly loved. So I wondered, who is this Farida that Christian named a bag after? Turns out it's THE Farida Khelfa, the beautiful it model of the glorious 80s, and who also once used to be Christian Louboutin's roommate back in the days! (I wish I was!)

Such a lovely handbag! I love the pink shade one. This bag will sure last for seasons and won't go out of style. Great investment! :)
