Cleo Embellished Leather Sandals

RENE CAOVILLA's Cleo sandals have been a style icon since 1975 – so much so that they've even been exhibited at the MoMA.

They're handmade in Italy from black leather and feature the house's signature bombè coil straps, which are hand-embellished with crystals using a heat sealing technique that is unique to the brand.

A success story that started at the dawn of the twentieth century with pioneer Edoardo Caovilla who took a road that was halfway between craftsmanship and couture, with the vision and audacity to amaze the world. In the fifties his son René Fernando (born in 1938) developed his own inspiration by moving towards art and experimenting with a transversal approach.
