Jewels sculpted from light, craft, and couture-level precision.For Fall-Winter 2025-26, Rene Caovilla unveils a constellation of mini bags and clutches that reaffirm the Maison’s mastery in transforming accessories into objets d’art. More than evening companions, the new Deva, Victoria and Ondastyles embody a study in femininity, where light, texture, and craftsmanship converge in designs that feel both contemporary and timeless.
A refined palette of gold, black, and powder-pink sets the tone for the season: luminous yet understated, precious yet wearable. Each piece reflects Caovilla’s unmistakable signature, an alchemy of artisanal precision and jewel-like radiance that elevates every gesture.
Deva: Velvet, Brilliance, and Modern Opulence
The Deva bucket bag introduces a sensual interplay of textures. Crafted from soft, enveloping velvet, it is crowned by a gleaming golden closure and a sculptural, rigid handle that lends unexpected structure. The result is a silhouette designed for the most exclusive soirées, intimate, tactile, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Its golden iteration, adorned entirely with all-over crystals, pushes the narrative further. A dramatic interpretation of the original, it becomes a wearable jewel, capturing light from every angle and embodying the Maison’s celebrated artisanal excellence. Both versions channel Caovilla’s iconic approach: couture heritage meeting modern glamour.
Victoria: A Study in Sculptural Seduction
The Victoria top-handle bag is perhaps the season’s quiet revelation, understated at first glance, yet magnetic in its presence. Clad in tone-on-tone black crystals, it exudes an elegant, shadow-like brilliance, sculpting reflections with every movement.
Its hallmark is the serpent-inspired handle, a symbol deeply linked to the brand’s identity, offering both architectural beauty and mythological allure. Paired with a delicate chain shoulder strap, Victoria becomes the ideal companion for evenings where mystery and refinement share the stage.
Onda: The Poetry of a Wave, Reimagined in Three Acts
A tribute to fluidity and light, the Onda collection returns this season with renewed brilliance. Its defining wave motif, traced by shimmering crystals, sculpts a mesmerizing rhythm across each silhouette.
The line is offered in three distinct finishes:
- Black velvet, where depth and softness meet the sharp glow of its jeweled contour;
- Powder-pink satin, luminous and ethereal, capturing the romance of winter evenings;
- Gold, radiant and celebratory, a nod to the luminous side of the season.
Every Onda piece is completed with the iconic serpent bracelet, allowing the bag to be slipped onto the wrist like a piece of fine jewelry, a signature gesture that merges function, elegance, and identity.
Where Craft Meets Couture
With this collection, Rene Caovilla once again demonstrates its ability to transcend traditional accessory design. Each mini bag is worn as a jewel, a fragment of light, a manifesto to the Maison’s couture spirit.
