The most modern iteration of a classic ballet flat has arrived

Red ballet shoes with pink laces on an orange background
Colorful flats arranged in a circular pattern on a light background

We’re known for designing best-in-class ballet flats (it’s been our focus since day one, with a bespoke ballerina as the very first Margaux style). The shape has retained its position as the ultimate in elegant closet versatility, and we’re constantly iterating on its next evolution. The Fonteyn was introduced to celebrate our 10th birthday: a classic, effortless, yet decidedly modern flat for today.
