The history
Munich's ballerinas
Ideas emerge where cultures meet – and we look back with joy at the place where it all began.
The idea for Bayerinas was born in this special place, Munich, this beautiful city and its surrounding area with its culture and tradition.
"In Mallorca, people wear Mallorquines.
In Munich, Bayerinas."
This play on words sparked the idea for Bayerinas, building a brand with roots in Munich that connects and celebrates tradition, style, and craftsmanship.
When I moved from Barcelona to Munich in 2011, I immediately fell in love with the colors, patterns, and fabrics of the Dirndl. This special magic awakened in me the desire to get to know the world of Bavarian textiles and their rich history more closely.
Inspired by visits to weaving mills, dye works, and printing shops, Bayerinas was finally born in 2017 – ballet flats crafted from precious Bavarian fabrics.
Conscious style sometimes begins with a single pair of shoes.

More than a shoe
What We Do
In Munich's Schwabing district, we design soft, comfortable, and above all stylish shoes that will elevate any everyday outfit. Our ballet flats are true all-rounders – they perfectly round off your casual jeans look just as well as a special evening outfit.
With care. With soul. With style.
How we do it
We combine high-quality Bavarian materials with modern design and have our models ethically produced in Spain. Each pair of ballerinas is packed in a linen bag crafted at a social facility in Munich – thereby supporting a wonderful project that creates new professional opportunities for people.
Because every step counts
Why we do it
It is important to us that you can feel good about wearing your shoes – because selected materials, fair production, and appreciative collaboration simply add up.
In short: We design favorite shoes that not only match your style, but also strengthen tradition, craftsmanship, and people.
