Thoughtful choices for the stage

We want to help dancers choose pieces they can enjoy beyond a single performance.

Our role as a retailer

Barre & Bow is an online retailer. Our suppliers make the products and ship them directly to you, so we do not directly control their materials, production or packaging, and we have not verified environmental certifications for our range.

Clear product information

We aim to share useful material and care information from our suppliers. We will only describe an item as recycled, certified or environmentally preferable when we have evidence to support that specific claim.

Wear, care and reuse

Check measurements before ordering, follow each garment's care instructions and consider reusing costumes for future routines. Where suitable, repairing, sharing or passing on a costume can help keep it in use.

A work in progress

We will update this page as we learn more about our suppliers and their practices.
