Rene Caovilla unveiled “The Golden Era” Collection

At Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025-2026, Rene Caovilla unveiled “The Golden Era”, a collection that masterfully intertwines Venetian craftsmanship with contemporary design, solidifying the brand’s position at the pinnacle of luxury footwear.​

A Radiant Tribute to Gold

Central to this season’s collection is the opulent use of gold, symbolizing both luxury and timeless elegance. The iconic Cleo sandal, renowned for its serpentine strap, has been reimagined with intricate gold embroidery, enhancing its sculptural allure. This golden motif extends across various designs, reflecting the maison’s dedication to artisanal excellence.​

Innovative Silhouettes and Embellishments

René Caovilla introduces new silhouettes that blend tradition with modernity. Flat mules and slingbacks adorned with hand-set crystals offer a fresh perspective on everyday elegance. The Full Crystal series captivates with its shimmering array of slingbacks, Parisian-inspired Mary Janes, boots, ballerinas, kitten heels and stilettos, each encrusted with cascading micro-crystals. Details such as mini and double-buckle fastenings, pointed toes, and the signature snake motif infuse the collection with distinctive character.​

The Spark Evolution

This season marks the debut of the Spark model, an evolution of the brand’s emblematic serpent theme. Crafted from luminous crystal baguettes, the Spark coils around the ankle in a radiant spiral, gracing sandals, thigh-high cuissardes and ankle boots. Available in vibrant hues like purple, orange, metallic gray, deep blue, raspberry and purple velvet, as well as sleek black stretch nappa leather, the Spark exemplifies the brand’s innovative spirit.​

Reimagined Classics

Beloved designs such as the Chandelier and Margot sandals return, revitalized in a palette of raspberry, purple, orange, teal and amber alongside a versatile dark gray option. The Braid model, introduced in the Spring/Summer 2025 collection expands with new silhouettes, including mules, pointed-toe designs, ankle-wrap snakes and chunky-heeled flip-flops. Notably, the Dalilah featuring a 105mm heel cross-strap detail and white crystals, joins the Bridal 2025 lineup, offering a dreamlike option for brides-to-be.​

Couture Evening Bags

Extending its artistry beyond footwear, René Caovilla presents a capsule collection of mini bags designed to complement the season’s ensembles. The Bucket bag adorned with all-over rhinestones is available in black velvet and a shimmering orange and gold variant inspired by winter sunsets. The Wave clutch, offered in powdery satin, total black rhinestones or velvet with jet-black crystal trim features a Serpent bracelet handle, blending functionality with elegance. The Cocktail Bag, an all-black rhinestone piece with a jeweled snake handle epitomizes sophistication for glamorous occasions.​

Global Expansion

In tandem with the collection’s launch, René Caovilla continues its global expansion particularly in Southeast Asia. The brand recently inaugurated a mono-brand store in Hong Kong’s prestigious Harbour City Mall and established a pop-up boutique at Bangkok’s Central Embassy, complementing its existing presence at Central Chidlom. These strategic openings reflect the growing demand for René Caovilla’s distinctive craftsmanship in the region.​

René Caovilla’s Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection, “The Golden Era” not only pays homage to the brand’s rich heritage but also showcases its commitment to innovation and global growth, reaffirming its status as a leader in luxury fashion.
