RENE CAOVILLA

Snake crystal-embellished satin heeled sandals

René Caovilla first fell under the spellbinding allure of the serpent in the ancient city of Naples in 1973, bewitched by how a snake-shaped Roman bracelet from the Ist century BC coiled around the wrist with sinuous grace. Today, the creature slithers across the label’s most hypnotising creations, including the Snake sandals. Crafted from glossy satin, this pair is entwined with the glittering, scaled reptile spiralling around the ankle and curling up upon the open toe before it strikes.
