The recent ballet trend “Balletcore” has once again become popular, bringing ballet shoes back in a strong way. The classic ballet shoes from the prestigious French brand Repetto are a must-have item for this spring and summer. The brand’s new flagship store has recently opened in Harbour City Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, showcasing a variety of new spring and summer shoe styles and sportswear collections, as well as giving a sneak peek of the autumn and winter shoe styles, allowing French elegance to blend into every aspect of life.
Founded in 1947, Repetto, with its craftsmanship in shoemaking and dedication to using the finest materials, has become a globally renowned dance shoe brand. The brand’s new flagship store continues the French elegance, bringing all ballet elements to the forefront and interpreting them in a modern way.

The new store is designed with “The Declaration of Roses” as the main color scheme, taken from the name of the founder Rose Repetto, symbolizing the extension of the founder’s beliefs and the culture of ballet. The first thing that greets everyone is the window display that resembles a mini art gallery, with floral art installations showcasing the pursuit of taste in French life. From the color scheme to the design, the store feels like stepping onto a ballet dancer’s stage, with semi-circular ballet shoe display cabinets inspired by ballet skirts, showcasing all the colors of the iconic ballet shoe styles. Each pair of Repetto ballet shoes upholds the founder Rose Repetto’s traditional hand-sewn reverse stitching technique, this unique craftsmanship has created several legendary series, including Cendrillon, Camille, Rose, Michael, Zizi, and more.
Welcoming the summer heat wave, Repetto has also put on new summer outfits, allowing different daily and occasion styles to bloom with French fashion flair. The stylish and elegant Jordana Heeled Mules have taken on a vacation-inspired variation, with open-toe high heels made of raffia, a member of the Jordana 60 series. With a geometric design on the toe, paired with a satin ribbon trim and lace lining, the soft texture brings out a relaxed and elegant summer feel perfectly.
Repetto’s new collection, the Juanita Sandals, gently embrace the feet with delicate Salomé straps adorned with exquisite flattened butterfly bows; another pair of black high-heeled shoes, featuring the brand’s classic pink satin and lace butterflies, becomes a sexy and elegant masterpiece.
Repetto has always injected new elements into ballet shoe designs, the all-new Lisbeth square design is intentionally made with Nappa calf leather or sheepskin, comfortable yet modern, suitable for both casual wear and elegant dressing.
