Salvatore Ferragamo: The brand that created the wedge heel, is celebrating its 95th anniversary
The designer who gave the world the wedge heel.
If you like either of these deluxe items, then don’t hesitate. The Salvatore Ferragamo brand has made only 95 pieces of each type of bag and so they may be gone sooner than you can take your credit card out. Before we examine these unique items a little more closely, let us reminisce about the life of the designer who gave the world the now traditional wedge heel and who had Hollywood at his feet.

Unbelievable talent! He began his career when he was just 9 years old!
Italian shoe and brand designer, Salvatore Ferragamo, was born into a poor family as the eleventh of fourteen children and he created his first pair of shoes for one of his sisters when he was just 9 years old. And this was the moment he discovered the path he would like to travel in life. He established his own brand and a number of stars wore his deluxe shoes during the golden era of Hollywood; that is how successful he was!
He knew his friends and clients inside and out…
Salvatore Ferragamo was distinguished by his unique skills. He was able to perfectly estimate the specific needs of his friends and clients and as a result he made deluxe items to measure, which not only looked perfect, but most importantly, were in complete harmony with their wearers.
Simple, with minimum lines: that is what these 2 unique deluxe items are like
After the death of the talented designer his wife Wanda and then his children took charge. Today Salvatore Ferragamo boutiques exist around the world and make clothing, perfumes, silk accessories and handbags, as well as shoes. And handbags is how the brand decided to celebrate its significant 95th anniversary. Both models are distinguished by their first-class craftsmanship and simplicity in combination with minimum lines.
Silver vs. an elegant mix of colours. Which model will win your heart?
You can purchase both sophisticated models from the limited edition for 2,100 dollars and they are made from high-quality leather. The metallic silver item is made from goat’s skin, while the other model, in shades of black, white and beige, is made from calf’s skin.

It needs more originality
It really is like a story from some Hollywood romance and it even has the expected “happy end”. A poor boy establishes a fashion empire, which is celebrating an unbelievable 95 years now!!! That is a fantastic performance, which deserves enormous respect and happiness.
A birthday gift in the form of elegant handbags is the cherry on top of the imaginary cake. I love the three-colour version, where colours like black and white have been combined with a warm, sort of caramel colour. This is definitely an item that will go well with any outfit thanks to its timelessness and combination of colours. And this is an enormous advantage for women who are always in a hurry and don’t have much time to think about which handbag to choose – which is my case specifically.
Unfortunately even this item has a small weak point. With regard to the fact that this is a symbol of the celebration of the company’s 95th anniversary, I would have expected a little more originality. Ladies who know about fashion will immediately recognize how similar it is to the iconic Birkin bag from Hermés. However, you probably won’t have to spend several years on a waiting list for a bag from Ferragamo
