René Caovilla has introduced four embellished shoe styles created in collaboration with Swarovski. The collection uses an exclusive pattern in shades of purple and beige, designed to evoke the glow of a sunset, alongside materials and crystal details that play with light and reflection.
Two versions of the label’s Cleo design feature in the range: the Cleo sandal and the Super Cleo. Both highlight the style’s curved lines, serpent detail and heel with more than 2,000 Swarovski crystals. The Super Cleo adds richer embroidery and 5-by-2.5-millimeter baguette-cut crystals for added dimension.
The Lady sandal takes a more pared-back approach, with slender foot straps, a closed back and a stiletto heel. Its arrangement of 2,370 Swarovski crystals in different sizes is intended to recall the reflections of a sunset.
The Ellabrita sandal uses crystals as part of its architectural design. It is decorated with 1,480 hand-applied Swarovski crystals, including round flatback and baguette cuts, arranged to create subtle, tone-on-tone glimmers.
The collection is available to shop now.
