René Caovilla: The Legacy Behind the Luxe Snake-Coil Heels
René Caovilla, born in 1938 in Fiesso d’Artico, Italy, is the visionary behind the eponymous luxury footwear brand that blends Venetian craftsmanship with couture-level sophistication. After taking over his father Edoardo Caovilla’s shoemaking business in the 1950s, René elevated it into a high-fashion atelier renowned for its handcrafted, jewel-encrusted shoes—often made with opulent materials like Swarovski crystals, satin, and lace.
Among his most iconic creations is the Cleo sandal, introduced in 1969, which features a signature coiled serpent ankle strap—an aesthetic beautifully echoed in Lexi’s red carpet heels. Today, René Caovilla’s latest statement styles continue to captivate on runways and red carpets alike, and can be shopped online at luxury retailers like Farfetch.
