A highly architectural example of Roberto Cavalli’s early–mid 2010s maximalist footwear design, these cage sandals demonstrate the atelier’s commitment to multi-technique Italian leather craftsmanship. Constructed from a sophisticated combination of braided, woven, and snakeskin-embossed leathers, the straps interlace to form a sculptural, corseted structure around the foot — a hallmark of Cavalli’s textural experimentation during this period.
The leatherwork showcases several advanced techniques seldom seen in contemporary production: hand-style contrast stitching, tightly braided cords, embossed reptile-pattern leather, and layered strap engineering designed to maintain dimensionality without increasing bulk. The vertical progression of the straps elongates the leg, while the open-toe profile and slender stiletto heel preserve balance and proportion. A gold-tone Cavalli-engraved back zipper offers both functional access and ornamental detail, consistent with the brand’s emphasis on luxurious hardware.
Materials & Construction Notes
Mixed leathers including smooth calfskin, braided leather, and snakeskin-embossed leather
Multi-strap cage architecture with vertical contouring
Contrast white top-stitching
Gold-tone hardware with engraved Cavalli zipper pull
Leather insole and leather outsole
Crafted in Italy during Cavalli’s height of multi-texture experimentation
Details
True to size for a standard 9.5

Moderate arch height
Zippered entry allows for easy wear and removal
Measurements
Condition
Provenance & Rarity Notes
This design encapsulates the defining traits of Cavalli’s 2010s footwear: rich texture play, layered leatherwork, and maximalist visual impact. Multi-technique leather construction of this level is increasingly rare in modern production, making archival-era Cavalli cages particularly desirable to collectors and those who appreciate artisanal, statement-driven Italian design. Pieces from this period are often referenced in runway styling from Cavalli’s transition toward sculptural glamour.
