Hi Huneybees,
Ballerinas would fall in love with this wonderland - Chacott & Freed of London, that is newly opened in Marina Gallery. Right at the entrance, I was already greeted by this lovely ballerina dress.
Chacott and Freed of London are two of the most esteemed labels in the ballet world. They have a rich history of producing some of the best handcrafted pointe shoes and they are the two must-have brands for professional ballet dancers.
Freed of London
Founded in London, England in 1929 by shoe maker Frederick Freed, Freed of London supplies pointe shoes to many of the leading ballet companies throughout the world. The company is one of few that boasts handmade pointe shoes, but they don’t last very long. There are six varieties of Freed Pointe shoes, but its “Classics” are the most popular and most easily recognized.
Chacott
Chacott is a subsidiary branch of Freed of London. Chacott pointe shoes are known for a short break-in period, an important feature to many dancers.
You can try on these lovely pointe shoes with the bar and mirror in stores, but you would have to make an appointment as the professional to help you might not be in the store all the time. You can find ballet required dresses, tutu-s, bags, shoes and accessories right here in the store for all gender and ages. I love the little girl's dresses, they are so adorable and guess my motherly side is showing?
But other than just ballet, the store has also offers a range of dancing shoes and gymnastic and yoga apparels. Because their fabric is so comfortable and stretchable, the exercise gear is here for your every needs.
