If there is a shoe that represents French women for me, it has to be the Repetto ballerine. Forget the heels, forget the logos, you can even forget Louboutin, Repetto wins hands down every time. Comfortable, pretty, available in every possible colour. They seem to suit everyone and every occasion.
First created as a real ballet shoe in 1947 by a certain Madame Rose Repetto, the company has grown in leaps and bounds. Today they do more than just the ballerina flats, but they are legendary for their quality and their chic, and famous for their gorgeous boxes.
I have pair upon pair of ballerina flats - not all Repettos ! - some perfectly simple, and some more dressed up. Put me on a desert island with a pair of Repettos and a pair of good riding boots and I'd survive and keep my sanity! How about you, what's your live-in shoe?
