Graceful and light as a feather
Soft like a ballet shoe
Upon its conception, Rosa was blessed with grace, as light as a feather. It’s not just a fairy tale, it’s the conjunction of leather as supple as skin with a cotton lining. This a magic combo which gives the impression that you’re walking on a little cloud, like a true ballerina.
Under my skin
In just a few hours, Rosa’s leather takes on the form of a foot with hardly a millimeter of discrepancy. Such a reality is made possible by the thin exterior sole of this ladies’ sneaker. The back stiffener was modified so you have nothing to fear if you have delicate and fragile skin. Rosa just loves contact with skin. And skin just loves contact with Rosa.
Passionately red
Love and beauty, such is Rosa’s everlasting Red Passion which sets fire to everything it touches. It’s an incandescent flame which plays with the fire of life.
HANDMADE WITH CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL
The butterfly
The silhouette of this insect, incarnating freedom of movement, is at the heart of the brand. Its crown finds its origin in the heraldry of the Renaissance barons and its discreet, hot engraved logo – finds its origin in the French jewlery tradition. An elegant marriage of tradition and fashion.
The ribbon
Rosa distinguishes itself by its tone on tone red satin ribbon. A detail which adds glamour and style, whose sensuality is nevertheless both long-lasting and waterproof.
MATERIALS WHICH ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED
A shoe shaped like your foot with an original touch
If it’s not made of quality materials it’s not a good product: such are the ABCs of handicraft work. At Baron Papillon, each aspect is important, so no detail is neglected. The Italian calf leather allies resistance and freshness with a soft velvet feeling.
ECO-RESPONSABLE AND FRENCH
A well thought-out production
Concerned about environmental problems, we have always wanted an elegant and shrewd pair of sneakers, but which is also part of in the slow movement trend.
We adhere to the principle of "zero destruction" of those shoes which have not been sold and we continue to develop the creative processes which privilege the search for European materials which are truly respectful of the environment. At the same time, we associate ourselves with collaborative ecological projects.
Made in France
Upstream, we will work on the elaboration of the first prototypes :
- Final design and materials by our stylist Eric Gallais
- First handmade prototype made in our research department
- Validation
Then we proceed with the production stage :
- Preparation of different elements and materials: cutting leather, preparing linings, piercing a hole in the upper lining...
- Placing upper linings with exterior soles
- The latter are hot glued, then sewn
- Pampering by hand (cleaning the glue, nails and all the little impurities which may have crept in during these operations)
At last, the final preparation :
- Laces
- Position of the inner sole for a perfect fit
- Setting up our sneakers in specially designed boxes with a cardboard roll to avoid that they move around during transport
We know how to recycle
Right up to the very end. The vintage shoe boxes were recuperated from an old French manufacturer from the 1980s on which we were able to affix our logo.
