Christian Louboutin Large "By My Side" E/W Woven Raffia Tote Bag – Natural/Cuoio NWT
Christian Louboutin Large "By My Side" E/W Woven Raffia Tote Bag – Natural/Cuoio NWT
The bag that turns every sidewalk into a runway.
Debuting as a flagship statement piece for the Christian Louboutin Spring/Summer Collection, the By My Side Large E/W Tote was crafted in strictly limited artisan quantities and never reproduced. This specific Large East/West variant is a rare find — and this one is brand new, tags still attached, never carried.
As of this listing, this specific Large E/W variant is no longer available through Christian Louboutin US boutiques or the official US website. The remaining global stock is held by select international retailers at full retail pricing — with international shipping fees and customs duties on top. This is a rare domestic opportunity to secure one at below-retail pricing, shipped fully insured within the US, with no customs surprises.
More than a summer bag, this is a collector's piece. The woven raffia body is structured and substantial, framed by exquisite Italian calfskin leather in the Maison's iconic Cuoio (cognac/tan) colorway — the kind of leather that develops a beautiful patina over time. The oversized tonal "CL" monogram is debossed directly into the calfskin front panel, communicating luxury pedigree with effortless restraint.
The interior is beautifully unlined — open-top, natural raffia and leather trim, honest and artisanal. The detachable leather pouch clips securely inside via a lobster clasp and is lined in a rich red velvet-like fabric — a signature Louboutin touch that makes even the inside feel like a gift.
Two Designer Pieces in One
This Large E/W model includes a matching 9" x 6.5" detachable leather zip pouch crafted from the same premium Italian calfskin, lined in rich red velvet-like fabric. Unclip it from the interior and carry it solo as a chic standalone wristlet or evening clutch. You're receiving two exceptional pieces for less than the price of a single boutique purchase.
Condition Note
Brand new, completely unused, original tags attached. There are minor superficial surface scuffs on the leather piping along the very bottom base from boutique shelf storage — 100% invisible when the bag is sitting upright or being carried. The raffia body, handles, interior, and leather pouch are all in immaculate, pristine condition. Full transparency shown in our close-up photos.
