repetto

Founded in Paris in 1947 by Rose Repetto, the brand originated from a mother’s desire to create better ballet shoes for her choreographer son, Roland Petit. This deep connection to dance is the foundation of its identity, which was famously cemented in 1956 when Brigitte Bardot wore a custom pair of its “Cendrillon” ballet flats in the film ‘And God Created Woman’, transforming the functional dance slipper into an icon of Parisian chic. The brand’s signature is its proprietary ‘stitch-and-return’ (cousu-retourné) manufacturing technique, where shoes are stitched inside out and then reversed, providing exceptional flexibility and comfort.
