The brand was born from everyday scenes experienced by all women with the creation of an innovative and timeless model, ‘BAGLLERINA’, the foldable ballet flat that fits in your bag.
I worked in communications for large international groups and travelled all over the world, leading a very active life alongside my family life with three children.
Looking for an alternative to high heels to relieve my feet and avoid blisters, rubbing and all the associated discomfort, I invested in pairs of ballerina flats, but I wasn't satisfied with the result.
I wanted footwear that evoked the idea of softness, a feeling ‘like a soft leather glove’ and that was elegant enough to allow me to wear it on any occasion: work, outings, errands, shopping, travel, evenings out, at home, etc... in short, our everyday life.
So, as I couldn't find it, I had to invent and create it!
Due to this lack and after some development and testing on my own feet, Bagllerina was born in Paris in 2010.
Featuring a leather sole that folds in half and can be stored in a matching leather pouch, compact and easy to slip into your handbag or travel bag, a sole that articulates at the arch of the foot, preventing ankle strain and ensuring mobility and flexibility, allowing you to walk for miles! The choice of premium lambskin leather for the upper was an obvious one, to avoid pressure on the foot and ensure the ballerinas could be worn for a long time. Finally, a ‘mobile’ lace allows the ballerina to be adjusted perfectly to the foot.
Another important element is elegance, hence the creation of a beautiful ballerina flat, available in different styles and colours, which, thanks to the quality of its materials, makes the foot look beautiful in all circumstances and according to your desires and moods, without weighing down an outfit. It can be worn with jeans as well as a wedding dress!
Finally, a fair price for a quality shoe that will last a long time and be a pleasure to care for.
My pair of Bagllerina shoes always accompany me on my business trips and also on my holidays to the seaside or the mountains and during my moments of relaxation.
The Bagllerina is something of your own, an element of well-being in your secret garden.
