RENE CAOVILLA Women's Shoes

Spoil yourself and invest in a pair or two of wear-forever René Caovilla shoes. In the 1950s, Venetian designer René Caovilla took over his father's business, and from that point onwards, his meticulously crafted footwear has continued to evolve, resulting in the iconic designs you'll see today. Unapologetic opulence is threaded through the collections – note the liberal amounts of metallic textures, which will create enticing reflections on the dance floor.

Whether you're off to a black-tie event or simply want to add a frisson of joy to a more casual outfit, the lavish nature of each pair's construction will be sure to satisfy. Explore the crystal-embellished shoes where all-over detail is the secret ingredient to creating visual impact. With impressive Swarovski crystals adorning so many of the shoes on offer, the sparkling layer covering the heel will become an instant talking point.

A much-heralded design of the brand is the ankle strap – inspired by spiralling Roman serpent bracelets, it winds up the calf and is as eye-catching as it is comfortable. Quality is assured as below the riveting sparkle, you'll find the premium materials you'd expect from a label of this calibre, with leather and tactile satin featuring heavily.
