Repetto's semi-custom ballerina shoe system, "Atelier Repetto," will add the new "Brigitte" model to its lineup in early October. Launched in 2010 at the Paris Opera flagship store, "Atelier Repetto" allows customers to customize their own unique pair of ballerina shoes by combining their favorite colors of leather, grosgrain tape, shoelaces, and heels. Custom-made shoes are manufactured in a factory in France. In Japan, orders are accepted exclusively at the Repetto Ginza store. Currently, seven models are available: "Cendrion," "Camille," "Gigi," "Michael," "Tito," "Gigi Homme," and "Michael Homme." The new addition to these models is the "Brigitte," a pointed-toe flat ballerina shoe introduced in the 2015 Spring/Summer collection. Customers can choose their favorite color from 250 colors of leather, 120 colors of grosgrain tape, 100 colors of shoelaces, and two colors of heels to match their shoes. You can also have text engraved on the insole or add charms. The price is 57,000 yen (adding charms costs an additional 2,000 yen).

To commemorate the release of "Bridget," a pop-up shop will be open in the traditional casual space on the 3rd floor of Hankyu Umeda Main Store from October 16th to 27th.
