René Caovilla is presenting freshly bejeweled shoe styles through a collaboration with Swarovski.
The partnership features an exclusive pattern in hues of purple and beige to mimic the glow of a sunset. The pattern decorates four styles, with materials and sparkling embellishment coming together in a play of reflections.

René Caovilla’s iconic Cleo style has two iterations in the collection, including the Cleo sandal and Super Cleo, showcasing different intensities of light and character. The sinuous lines, serpent detail and heel become luminous, thanks to the application of more than 2,000 Swarovski crystals. The Super Cleo takes it to another level with richer embroidery, enhanced by 5×2.5mm baguette-cut crystals emphasizing its three-dimensionality.

The Lady sandal pares things back with only necessary lines, presenting slender straps around the foot, a closed back and a stiletto heel elevating the silhouette. It gets its sparkle from an arrangement of 2,370 Swarovski crystals in various sizes including 2mm, 2.8mm and 3.8mm, resembling the reflections of a sunset.

Meanwhile, the Ellabrita sandal uses light as an architectural feature. It features 1,480 meticulously hand-applied Swarovski crystals, including round flatback and baguette cuts, which diffuse tone-on-tone glimmers that emphasize the purity of each crystal’s lines and structural lightness.
The collection with Swarovski can be shopped now. Earlier this year, René Caovilla unveiled its 2026 bridal collection featuring shoes with delicate floral applications, polished pearls and lace in addition to sheer details.
