Beating the 2020 odds and expanding its business during a tumultuous retail year, standout shoe label René Caovilla has opened a brand new boutique at the ultra high-end Bal Harbour Shops in Florida.
Designed by the Italian architect duo Bonelli Radovic of m2atelier – popular for their distinctive approach to style and interiors – the new boutique encompasses over 1,200 square feet and blends modern elegance with sophisticated creativity.
Integrating the brand’s heritage and elegance, the boutique reflects the concept of new Caovilla spaces with additional novelty elements such as an external and internal golden wall finish and a refined hand-crafted layout. Additional store elements include a grey carpet floor with silk effect, golden galvanic details, fabric with reflections and pink velvet.
The main stylistic innovation was said to be found in the desire to create a “golden envelope to evoke the Venetian origins of the brand.” A large oval pink velvet sofa with a soft shape lends to the store’s ultra feminine space while the Caovilla logo is the main focal point of those looking at the boutique from the outside and is the first contact of the customer entering the boutique.
The new boutique houses the latest René Caovilla Spring/Summer 2021 Collection in addition to exclusive colorways of iconic Caovilla styles that were specially designed for this boutique.
René Caovilla first took over his father’s Venetian shoemaking business in the 1950s, referencing age-old Italian traditions to create exquisitely opulent footwear. Known for his signature sparkles and couture-like craftsmanship, the brand’s beautifully embellished designs have been worn by the likes of fashion icons such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Heidi Klum and Gigi Hadid.
The René Caovilla boutique at Bal Harbour Shops is located at 9700 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour, FL 33154 and will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
