There are times when you have a website based on Pointe Shoe brands, that weeks, or maybe even months go by without making any new discoveries.
Then you have times when you find so many new brands and models, that your backlog becomes longer than Alina Somova’s legs. Not long ago I discovered the Chesine added to Millenium’s website.
The Chesine is described as a lightweight, flexible shoe for beginner Pointe students. It has a low vamp, medium profile and wide box design.
Of course, I can never find a new model with an interesting name like Chesine without trying to find out what it means. After a very long and unfruitful search, I can only come to one conclusion.
CHESINE is the scrambled form of the word CHINESE. As I ponder why a Brazilian brand like Millenium would do this, perhaps it’s best to leave it at this. Unfortunately, I weakened and decided to Google Translate and email my question to Millenium. Is this a Brazilian-made pointe shoe with a Chinese name, or a China produced product for the Brazilian market?
I will let you know if or when I receive a response from Millenium.
