Pretty Ballerinas is a brand of ballerinas and flat shoes launched in 2005. Although the name is relatively new, the shoes have been made in the same village on the Mediterranean island of Menorca by the same family since 1918.
Each shoe shape is named after a female screen or music icon to help you remember which shape suits you best.
In 2009 Pretty Ballerinas launched its "pretty young princess" collection – versions of its ballerinas aimed at the younger customer.
Pretty Ballerinas is known for its huge array of styles and colours and the unusual way materials are combined.
The stores are designed like tiny chocolate boxes with signature details of French antique gilt mirrors, chandeliers, pink shelving and leopard print sofas.
