Repetto has been making ballet slippers since 1947, founded by Rose Repetto, the mother of famed French ballet company director Roland Petit. Soon after inception, it started making shoes for everyday use, inspired by ballet – most famously the “ballerina flat”, made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the 1950’s.

Today Repetto is much more than just ballet slippers and tutu. It’s a brand that completely expanded its horizons by building smartly and creatively on its strong DNA.

Influential product ambassadors (Bardot, Serge Gainesbourg…) helped popularize the brand, which managed to ally comfort to style. Even their exquisite heeled shoes are comfortable.

You can see that I’m a big fan of Repetto!

Go to the main store, near the Opera to see their expansive collection of rich colours and styles.
