Rene Caovilla is a family-owned Italian business that dates back to the last century and is known for its exquisite craftsmanship. It is good at using many extremely feminine elements such as feathers, beads, and hand-painting, and decorates slender high-heeled sandals. Rene Caovilla is also a designer appointed by the British royal family, having designed shoes for Princess Diana.
Not only that, but in Europe, Rene Caovilla is synonymous with dinner shoes. The brand has been focusing on fine evening shoes since its inception, and has entered the fashion industry since the 70s, working with Christian Dior and Chanel, and now Rene Caovilla not only has its own shoemaking laboratory, but also boldly develops luxury shoes set with real gemstones.
Rene Caovilla currently has stores in Milan, Rome, Tokyo, Dubai, Paris, London and Florida, and Rene Caovilla's flagship store in Milan, Italy, is one of the top 10 luxury stores in the world by Forbes magazine, and this designer shoe store is the most exclusive luxury store in Milan. Once, Rene Caovilla's $120,000 evening shoes set with countless gems and an Indian cobra were displayed in a crystal chest at the same time, which was a breathtaking testament to its luxury.
In 1975, Rene Caovilla developed the Snake Sandal, which became an instant hit, and became their most famous shoe and is in the collections of several museums. At the same time, Italian fashion maestros Valentino Garavani asked Rene Caovilla to design shoes for Valentino's Haute Couture collection, and the Valentino by René Caovilla collaboration was a huge success.
Since then, Rene Caovilla has continued this emblem with three thin straps that hold the foot in place – the first two on the top of the foot and the instep, and the third one that spreads up from the ankle, extending the simplicity and opulence to the calf. Although Rene Caovilla's design is mainly simple, the design of thin straps can be found everywhere, including embroidery, beads, feathers, and all the gorgeous details you can imagine can be found on Rene Caovilla's shoes. Rene Caovilla also has a series of designs, full of French luxury in the 18th century, with pointed heels full of sequins, full of glamour and extravagance like Marie Antoinette, the queen of France. Because of the special selection of materials and the need for complex handwork, the price is quite high, and a pair of Snake sandal costs more than 10,000 yuan.
