Ferragamo

Salvatore Ferragamo founded his Florence house in 1927 after years shoemaking for Hollywood, and the brand has remained a benchmark of Italian craftsmanship ever since. While shoes remain its best-known category, Ferragamo's leather goods — handbags, belts, and small accessories — carry the same hallmarks of quality: precise construction, supple leathers, and the distinctive Gancini (double-toggle) clasp that serves as the house's visual signature. Ferragamo bags tend toward understated elegance rather than logo-heavy branding, making them a preferred choice for collectors who value craftsmanship over flash. Vintage pieces and fine examples of the brand's classic structured bags are most sought after on the resale market. Value depends on the model, leather, hardware condition, and overall presentation.
