I have been wanting a pair of Repetto ballet flats for a while now, and I chose not to join the crowds of fashionable Parisians (is there any other kind?) and buy some flats at the shop on Rue De Paix. The exchange rate made that decision. However, my closet needed a pair to join my growing ballet flat collection - I am so clearly meant to own a pair! Why else would the last pair of Demeter Ballerine shoes have been in my size?
Just minutes before closing, I took a peek into Rainsong Shoes in downtown Healdsburg. Rainsong has an amazing collection of hard to find designers like Giraudon, Pons Quintana, Cydwq, Espace and Repetto. I ran over to the sale rack and saw a few Repettos, not one was in my size, and I figured there was no back stock. I got brave and asked the sales woman to check anyway. Now I am the proud owner of some Repetto ballerina flats and I got them at half-off. The moral of this story: run into stores before closing, and always check the sale rack. You never know what treasure you may discover.
Nice choice! I love repetto flats, so classy and timeless chic. I still regret not to have bought a pair of repetto metallic ballet flats the last time I was in Nice. Next time;)
