Salvatore Ferragamo Bags Singapore
Mention Salvatore Ferragamo and you’ll likely think of his plush accessories, particularly his shoes. The Italian shoe designer worked with many Hollywood stars in the 1920s, before returning to Italy to found the eponymous company making unique handmade footwear. His immensely creative approach to shoes gave rise to many notable innovations such as the wedge heel.
Ferragamo decided that he had found his calling after making his first pair of shoes at age nine for his sisters to wear. After studying shoemaking in Naples for a year, he opened a small store based in his parent's home, and later emigrated to the United States in 1914.
It was at Hollywood that Ferragamo found success, when he opened a shop for repair and made-to-measure shoes, which soon became prized items among celebrities of the day, leading to a long period of designing footwear for the cinema. After spending thirteen years in America, Ferragamo returned to Italy in 1927, this time settling in Florence. He began to fashion shoes for the likes of Eva Peron to Marilyn Monroe. In 1949, Ferragamo expanded his line from shoes to include bags. The first Ferragamo bag was created in 1965 under the leadership of Giovanna Gentile Ferragamo. The brand received international recognition and global success. In 1995 the Ferragamo Museum opened, and the brand continues to expand in more than 90 countries and more than 500 stores and counting.

Ferragamo was always recognised as a visionary, and his designs ranged from the strikingly bizarre to the traditionally elegant, often serving as the main inspiration to other footwear designers of his time and beyond. When Italy was under fascist rule then, Ferragamo had to improvise under the sanctions imposed by Fascist leader Mussolini. The resourceful and innovative designer developed the famous shoes made out of metal chocolate wrappings, and experimented with unexpected new materials such as cork and raffia, leading to the cork wedges that we see today.
Ferragamo died in 1960, but his name lives on as an international company, which has expanded its operations to include luxury shoes, bags, eyewear, silk accessories, watches, perfumes and a ready-to-wear clothing line. At his death his wife and their children ran the company, and designer Massimiliano Giornetti ensures that the essence of Ferragamo lives on in his designs. The fall/winter 2014 Ready to Wear collection for Salvatore Ferragamo features muted patterns, androgynous silhouettes, as well as raw and refined animal materials, which are as bold and sleek and avant garde as Ferragamo was.
The brand now thrives not just on its apparels collection, but also its accessories. Salvatore Ferragamo bags and wallets are a favourite splurge come payday for many financially independent women, as they add a touch of elegance to any outfit.
