In 2010 Giorgia established her own company, O Jour and presented it to great acclaim in New York City.

Today, O Jour is highly regarded worldwide and its products are sold in the best concept and department stores.
Giorgia Caovilla has gracefully imposed her innovative shoe concept by creating a style that deeply resembles her a hyperfeminine, radiant style, enriched with romantic and sophisticated details that make O Jour’s solid, clear lines truly unique. Giorgia Caovilla lives in Padua with her husband and daughters Serena and Gemma, surrounded by the greenery of Riviera del Brenta where the best Italian shoe manufacturers have been working for centuries.
