Outlet for Women Repetto

Repetto, the brand of ballet shoes par excellence, has enjoyed great success and is known to all, young and old of every generation. As one of the world's leading manufacturers of women's shoes, alongside such greats as Louboutin and Minelli, Repetto has proved its worth from the outset, becoming the benchmark brand in the world of dance. In 1947, under the guidance of her son Roland Petit, Rose Repetto produced her first ballet shoes in her own workshop not far from the Garnier Opera House. In 1952, she produced her first advertising campaign, and in 1956, at the request of the famous Brigitte Bardot, Madame Repetto created the women's ballerinas known as Cinderella ballerinas, which she dedicated to her as a gift. In 1959, the year the first Repetto boutique opened at 22 rue de la Paix, it became the place to be for the world's greatest prima ballerinas, who stocked up on pointe shoes, demi-pointes, ballerinas and dance outfits of all kinds. In 1967, Rose Repetto decided to set up production in the Dordogne region of France, in order to further develop her production. Jean Marc Gaucher took over from Rose Repetto in 1999, with the ambition of revitalizing the company and bringing it back to the forefront. It was at this time that Repetto began the phenomenon of partnerships, notably with the greatest Japanese talents such as Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, as well as with Comme Des Garçons in 2004. In 2010, Repetto offered its customers the chance to personalize their ballerinas to their own taste, with a wide range of colors and other customization options. It was only in 2012 that Repetto launched its first ready-to-wear collection, followed by the launch of its first fragrance in 2013.

Repetto shoes, whether booties, ballerinas, boots or moccasins, are made in homage to the savoir-faire of classical dance, using the "cousu retourné" technique. This manufacturing process was created by Rose Repetto in her early days of making ballet slippers, and is still used today in every new shoe collection. The principle is as follows: the sole is first sewn inside out, then turned inside out to give the shoe a certain suppleness and impressive comfort, so that it feels like a pair of slippers. To best serve its clientele and provide maximum comfort for dancers, Repetto has decided to design each ballet shoe and ballerina in the tradition and know-how originally established by Madame Repetto. Wearing shoes has evolved with the passing of generations and fashions, notably with the advent of sneakers offering unrivalled comfort. Repetto has therefore taken full advantage of its know-how to meet the demands of its customers wishing to combine comfort and elegance. At Repetto, only the finest materials are used to create every part of the shoe, especially the soles and heels, to maximize foot comfort. The finishing touches on each shoe are equally perfect, which is what has earned the brand its worldwide reputation for quality. You'll find some of the finest pieces from the new Repetto collections at l'Exception.
