“As a child, I was captivated by the elegant style of Repetto’s ballerinas. In addition, they were manufactured near my home in Saint Médard d’Excideuil. For my sister and I, visiting the factory was a magical occasion, as it introduced us to the world of artisanal craftsmanship,” Serre mentioned in a press launch, including that she was delighted to see her signature half-moon print reproduced on these iconic sneakers.
The half-moon, utilized by Serre since her early days in trend, appears to be like as if it’s embossed on the entrance of the Lilouh ballerinas, recognizable by the extra enveloping, elliptic form of their uppers. The Lilouh is out there in black, purple, white and silver, and is priced at €370.
Marine Serre’s well-known half-moon sample can also be featured on the Camille ballerinas, which have a barely raised heel, versus the flat sole of the long-lasting Cendrillon mannequin. They’re accessible in purple, black and white patent leather-based and in denim material, and are priced at €390.
