Salvatore Ferragamo - Bags - Shoulder Bags

From 1950s movie stars to European royalty, Salvatore Ferragamo’s illustrious clientele has been intrinsic to the brand from the start. Launched in 1924 as a Hollywood shoe shop, the company built its reputation around the local show business scene when its founder began creating one-of-a kind footwear for some of the city’s most famous leading ladies—a gig that earned him the title of “shoemaker to the stars.” Perhaps even more iconic than the glamorous women he shod, however, is the squarish bow that become the designer’s hallmark, be it on a ladylike purse or his enduringly popular Ferragamo Vara pumps.
