FOCUS ON: RENE CAOVILLA
Epitome of luxury and elegance, Rene Caovilla shoes are the emblem of a modern femininity, as well as of Italian craftsmanship excellence. Every single shoe is hand-crafted and treated in detail: to create a pair of Rene Caovilla, more than 200 steps and an average of two days of work are necessary, a sign of the savoir-faire that has always characterized the brand.
Rene Caovilla maison was born in 1923, just a few kilometers from Venice, in the heart of Italian shoemaking tradition. Here, designer René Fernando Caovilla manages to combine the artisanal experience of his father Edoard to his personal sense of innovation, giving a couture twist to the factory. Inspired by the beauty of Venice, René Caovilla gives life to luxury footwear completely Made in Italy, capable of recalling an authentic sophistication.
Since three generations, Rene Caovilla shoes are created by using the finest materials, such as silk and satin, without forgetting precious details in lace, tulle, velvet and suede. Moreover, to make them unique, there is the iconic serpent: born in 1968 from an idea of René Caovilla, who had the intuition of transforming a Roman serpent-shaped bracelet in what would have become the legendary Cleo design, today the ankle-wrapping serpent is the most recognizable symbol of the maison. To further embellish Caovilla shoes, there are also stones, crystals and appliqués, as well as the unmistakable stardust sole, so called because, as Caovilla himself said, “higher than this you cannot go”.
Fall/Winter 2024 collection is a recall to the brand’s tradition: through iconic footwear and innovative details, Rene Caovilla recounts the shimmering universe of the maison, that has women dreaming for over a century.
