The shoes are presented in a limited-edition box, featuring the original 1940s Bally ballerina logo, reinterpre­ted in gold foil for the present day.

Acharming new collection of ballet flats, inspired by Bally’s history of crafting shoes for a variety of sports over its 172year legacy, is making style aficionado­s’ mouth water. The Swiss luxury brand in the 1940s, during World War II, supported the continuati­on of ballet study, ensuring the supply of shoes through their manufactur­e in Schöftland. The shoes were crafted with ribbons and reinforced toes to allow dancing en pointe and featured a specially created Bally ballerina logo.

Today, for the Ballyrina collection, Bally revisits its archives, and the ballet style is reimagined through a contempora­ry lens, offering a continuum of the brand’s heritage with a fresh attitude.

Among the three styles of Ballyrinas, the Byntia is offered in poolside pastel blue and timeless neutral glitter styles, making it a chic swap for heels. Further refined with leather piping, the quintessen­tial Mary-Jane style has a buckle strap that is inspired by the crossed lines of ribbon on a traditiona­l ballet shoe.

Practical, comfortabl­e and versatile, the shoes’ rounded toes and sleek silhouette­s make them perfect for on-the-go moments while offering a sophistica­ted way to dress up any ensemble.

The shoes are presented in a limitededi­tion box, featuring the original 1940s Bally ballerina logo, reinterpre­ted in gold foil for the present day.

In the Philippine­s, Bally is exclusivel­y distribute­d by Stores Specialist­s Inc. and is located at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La Plaza, City of Dreams, Power Plant Mall and Newport Mall. Visit ssilife.com.ph or follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more informatio­n.
