NORTH PERIGORD – ACCLAIM FOR LOCAL INDUSTRY
Information for Buyers

  NORTH PERIGORD – ACCLAIM FOR LOCAL INDUSTRY

Our local town of Excideuil is in the news again!  The manager of the specialist ballet shoe and sports wear firm ‘Repetto’  has won an award for the best manager of the year in the de luxe market.  This award draws attention to the comeback made by Repetto after financial difficulties in recent years.  Not only is it now one of the leading manufacturers of dance shoes but it has also entered a sector of the market hitherto unexpected  - that of  high fashion footwear with world wide fame.

Repetto shoes are now worn by the dancers of the Opera de Paris, London Opera House the Bolshoi Ballet and soon perhaps La Scala in Milan.  By using fashion designers to design new styles based on the classic Ballerine, and getting well known personalities and stars to wear Repetto shoes the company has now established a name for itself in the world of High Fashion.
