After appointing Richard Aibert as the new CEO of Cacharel, there are some major changes being made company wide to the Parisian brand.
The brand’s name will be changed from Cacharel to Cacharel Paris, debuting the name change in Fall 2013. Another major change to the brand is the plan to drop prices by 30% to 40%.
With new price points just off $650, this high quality design label could make a smash hit this coming February.

Repetto Pirouettes in a New Direction
The iconic French ballet-slipper brand Repetto has decided to launch their first ready-to-wear collection this month. The ready-to-wear collection is inspired by dancers’ clothing which includes flowing skirts and stretchy garments.
Emilie Luc-Duc designed this 18-piece collection.
“We see a big enthusiasm for ballet,” Repetto’s chief executive Jean-Marc Gauchet said. “After ballet flats and leather goods, [ready-to-wear] was important to complete the silhouette.”
With this new launch and the addition of two new stores, Repetto hopes company growth will be significant.
