Sustainable Product- Personalised Modular Pointe Shoes: Your Pointe is redefining the future of ballet footwear by fusing tradition with innovations in technology. Our mission is to empower dancers through a revolutionary new design that is sustainable, modular, and entirely customisable. Using the latest 3D technology available on smartphones, alongside an online made-to-order portal, we offer a truly personalised fit that supports performance while reducing waste. Designed with interchangeable components, the modular system extends the life of each shoe. We believe in honouring the artistry of ballet without compromising the planet or the dancer.

Recycled Ballet Tights and Take-Back Scheme: RenewLevé provides a sustainable solution Ballet dancers who wear convertible tights, reducing the impact this high-turnaround product creates. By using innovations in recycled synthetic fibres, RenewLevé creates a solution for dance consumers who are conscious of their sustainable impact. Our final product is a classic convertible tight, composed of Econyl’s recycled nylon from post-consumer waste. While take-back schemes are often seen as a “green-washing” scheme, the nature of this product means that they are going to be bought multiple times and a take-back scheme is a great way to promote sustainability.
