Casadei Teams With The Archivia on Capsule
The black-and-white collection centers on Casadei's Blade heels and launches Monday exclusively online.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Accessories
Italian shoe brand Casadei has partnered with The Archivia on a black-and-white capsule collection. The collection launches Monday and is available exclusively through the two brands' e-commerce platforms.
Why it matters
The collaboration pairs a footwear house with a fashion label, giving shoppers a coordinated set of heels, sandals, outerwear and accessories from a single drop. Its online-only release means buyers outside the brands' physical retail footprint can purchase directly.
The Blade heel is crafted from hardened steel and measures 4.7 inches, while the leather sandals are embellished with rice grain-shaped rhinestones and retail at 995 euros. The double-breasted wool dress retails at 580 euros, and the source does not disclose production volumes.

Timeline
Monday: Casadei x The Archivia capsule collection launches online.
Culture Shift
Co-branded capsule collections between footwear houses and independent fashion labels have become a recurring way for brands to reach new buyers with limited releases. This drop follows that pattern by combining a signature heel with tailored pieces under a shared visual language.
Shoppers can buy the capsule only online starting Monday, so buyers outside the brands' physical retail footprint can purchase directly. The dress at 580 euros and sandals at 995 euros set the price range for anyone planning to buy the collection.
The takeaway
Limited online-only capsules reward buyers who track launch dates closely, since the source gives no indication of restocks. Shoppers interested in the Blade heel should check the price and sizing before the Monday release.
