RIVA Ballerina's
Maybe not as well known as some more fashionable ballerina's but RIVA Ballerina's have a loyal following, in particular the style PROVENCE. Panache has been selling RIVA Ballerina's for nearly 9 years and the demand is as strong as ever for this very comfortable range of ballerina. RIVA have their Ballerina produced in Italian factories.
RIVA Provence comes in leather, suede or printed suede, more commonly known as "Fish", the printed suede takes on a scaled look! The heel height is typically 12mm and the toe shape is slightly squared instead of the traditional round or oval toe. Panache chooses, in most cases, to order the Ballerina's with a leather lining to go with the leather upper and insole, see the example below;
Provence Pewter
There is a wondeful array of RIVA Ballerina colours in all finishes from your basic colours; Black, Brown, Tan, Navy and Pewter. To vibrant summer colours such as Lime, Violet, Fushcia and Electric Blue to nude shades, Beige, Ivory and White.
RIVA stocks a wide size range of the Provence Ballerina's. Sizes are in whole sizes only and range from as small as a UK2 (35) and go up to a UK9 (42), larger sizes can be obtained on request through panache.
Unfortunately for RIVA Shoes in early 2010, like many other successful companies, were at the wrong end of the recession and had to be rescued from administration. The new owner Gardiner Bros & Co is a family run business, so we are grateful that, thanks to Gardiner Bros we can continue to supply the RIVA Ballerina's range. |
