Salvatore Ferragamo

The shoes have been the classic choice of the well-heeled for generations, but it's the designer's handbags, with a fresh, contemporary sensibility, that are generating excitement of late.
Founded in 1927 by shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo. As well as footwear, today the company sells ready to wear clothing, handbags, leather goods and other accessories such as scarves, ties, jewelry, watches, fragrances and eye-wear. Based in Florence, Ferragamo has more than 450 stores in over 55 countries.
