taxi4ballet Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi folks, I'm trying to find a Gamba stockist in the UK, and have tried getting in touch with Repetto as I know they bought them out. I've rung a couple of their shops but they don't stock them and couldn't tell me where did! Does anyone know any shops in London that sell Gambas?

afab Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 What are Gambas Taxi? Repetto being French, maybe I can find it around here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliKat Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi taxi4ballet. My dd has Gamba pointe shoes and we got them from Roynon Dancewear in Southampton. They might know of other shops that stock Gamba or how you can contact a supplier? Good luck. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I found them where I buy DDs pointe shoes even though, in my case, we go to the shop... www.pointes.fr I don't if it helps or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks AliKat. I didn't know they were still available in UK. DD wore Gambas for many years, but then the London shop went, and our local stockists couldn't get new supplies. She will be glad to hear this.

taxi4ballet Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks Alikat - I rang them & they were very helpful, but they are too far way for us to travel there, and they didn't know of any other stockists. Oh well never mind, it was just on the offchance, since dd hasn't tried that make yet and I thought it might be worth a go. Afab, If we're ever in France I'll let you know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afab Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 It's in the North of France... You could pop in on the way somewhere else! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullContretemps Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've always been able to get them at local shops - originally Basingstoke but that was many years ago and I think the shop is gone now, but this year got some at a local shop in York. Maybe they just still have old stock because they are smallish shops but could be worth trying local shops. I had Blochs in between and never liked them so will be sad if I can't get hold of Gambas in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
