With a style made famous by icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, Pretty Ballerinas have been handmade in Menorca, Spain, since 1918. Each pair passes through the hands of more than 60 artisans, weaving embellishments and careful design details into their construction.

Pretty Ballerinas Shoes

The ballet flat is a timeless style, synonymous with femininity, comfort, and versatility. Worn by world-renowned icons like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, ballerina flats combine elegance with timelessness and functionality.


For over 100 years, the family-owned brand Pretty Ballerinas has been putting its own unique twist on the timeless staple. Crafting each pair by hand on the Spanish island of Menorca, the process has hardly changed since 1918, the year the factory was founded.


Featuring fresh embellishments, a myriad of colour options, and exceptional durability that surpasses expectations, the Pretty Ballerinas’ shoes have proven themselves a popular choice amongst women of all ages shopping at Peter Sheppard.


Enjoy Effortless Style with all Pretty Ballerinas Shoes

As our staff know well, not all feet enjoy being in flat shoes. Every arch, instep, and individual foot has its own specific anatomy, stressing the importance to find footwear that moulds to your precise fit.


Despite being a flat shoe, Pretty Ballerinas’ shoes cater to a wide range of foot shapes. The sturdy leather uppers always exude personality and chic design, complemented by inners that provide expertly constructed, invisible support.


Sloping insoles cater to those with both high and troubled heels. The flattering styles never detract from comfort, supporting you to accomplish daily tasks with ease. Some concepts have been in production for over 40 years; proving that exceptional handcrafted footwear is still present in today’s fast-fashion fueled world.


Like Pons Quintana, another family-owned business from the island of Menorca, traditional techniques stand behind Pretty Ballerinas’ shoe production. The original fabrication method, handed down more than four generations, skillfully blends leather and accessories together to form a final product that’s unique in character and charm. While ballet flats are what the brand is known for, slip-ons, slingbacks and sandals also form part of the collection, with new styles and colours emerging every season.


The highly anticipated Peter Sheppard catalogue provides a comprehensive overview of the season’s collection. Ensure you sign up to our mailing list for next season to be the first to secure the most coveted styles.


A Unique Shopping Experience

While flats are synonymous with comfort, no footwear is ever one-size-fits-all. Peter Sheppard learned this when he began his cadetship in the Myer women’s footwear department last century, translating his knowledge into an exclusive experience in-store and online.


For those who can’t make it through our doors (or prefer online shopping), we offer a unique and personal virtual experience.


Stocking the widest range of sizes and widths in Australia, accessing the right pair is made simple via video call. The exclusive one-on-one appointment allows you to see the current range from every angle, view how styles look on-foot and receive tailored advice to ensure the perfect model is selected.
