Our shoes, like all of our dance slippers, are crafted by artisans using techniques unique to Maison Repetto, such as the 'stitch and return' method. This exceptionally meticulous production process is employed in the creation of every Repetto dance slipper and every iconic shoe. It showcases the precision of Maison Repetto's craftsmanship, as it requires the shoe to be stitched and mounted inside out onto a sturdy yet lightweight plant-based leather sole, before being turned right side out.
This expertise gives the shoes an inimitable suppleness, making them more comfortable to wear.
The Craftsmanship that Makes Us Unique
Each of our creations is designed to provide you with freedom of movement and flexibility, while maintaining the grace and elegance of dancers.
Our shoes, just like our ballet slippers, are handcrafted using techniques unique to Maison Repetto, including the 'stitch and turn' method. This exceptional and meticulous manufacturing process is employed in the creation of every ballet slipper and every iconic Repetto shoe. It exemplifies the precision of the Maison’s craftsmanship, as it requires the shoes to be stitched and assembled inside out on a lightweight yet durable vegetable-tanned leather sole before being turned right-side out.
The Repetto pointe shoe, the iconic product of the "Maison", has always met dancers requirements. Repetto has created the personalised pointe shoe, which is unique in France.
