Lisa Sheik, a Gucci spokeswoman, said that christian loubouitn, wallets and other leather goods (excluding shoes) accounted for 43.9 percent of Gucci's $1 billion in sales in 1998. The slice for apparel, 12.1 percent, was much smaller.
In the last five years, traditional fashion houses have reinvented themselves by hiring hip young designers -- Tom Ford at Gucci, John Galliano at Dior, Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton -- and their accessories, in turn, have acquired a new ca-chet. In January 1997, after Mr. Galliano showed his first Dior collection, sales of the Lady Dior shoe -- quilted and adorned with the house's jangling, gilt letters -- increased 40 percent.

1 {/ c* Z$ ^; O- j  A/ \Charting the history of status shoes, Ms. Steele identified the Chanel quilted, gilt-chain purse, first created by Coco Chanel in 1955,louboutin shoes, as the pre-eminent signifier of luxury in the early 1980's. In 1985, Prada supplanted Chanel when it introduced its now-legendary black nylon backpack. "It revolutionized everything," Ms. Steele said. "It became the iconic thing that made all other handshoes seem dowdy. It made you look automatically young and hip, like blue jeans in the 60's. It had a non-fashiony appeal. It drew on military and sporting prototypes. It was small, stripped down, sexy and made of high-tech materials."
But it is the Christian Louboutin shoeuette, the artful little shoulder shoe bedazzled with everything from sequins to mother-of-pearl and so named because it can be carried under the arm like a loaf of French bread, that is credited with the current shoe mania. "Christian Louboutin started the buying-a-shoe-a-day habit, having the pink one, the mirrored one," Ms. Kessler of Vogue said. "There are about 300 shoes. It's impossible to choose, so you want more than one."
