Bagllerina
Keeping a woman’s everyday life in mind, the brand was born with the creation of an innovative, timeless model: the "Bagllerina", the foldable ballerina in the bag.
After 20 years as CEO at a communications agency, Christine Natkin decided to change her career path in 2010, then, dedicated herself to creating and establishing her brand in France and abroad. The company aims to respond to the development of high-quality models and collections meeting wellness needs.
Special care is given to our handmade footwear with registered distinctive features, the quality of selected leather, the choice of eco-friendly materials, and also to finding artisans for authentic creations.
Bagllerina offers a wide range of colors to match all your outfits. A woman's sensitivity and the ability to listen to customers have lead to a proposal with an approach that goes beyond borders. It is light, playful, easy-going, simple and elegant.
