Salvatore Ferragamo BELTS & SUSPENDERS
Nicknamed “the shoemaker to the stars” in the 1920s, Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo’s Hollywood leather footwear boutique was the glitterati’s choice destination for custom-fit and exquisitely-handcrafted shoes. Moving his label to the romantic, artisan-rich landscapes of Florence in 1927, where he operated as creative director until his passing in 1960, Ferragamo expanded the family empire by branching out into leather accessories and ready-to-wear. Today, with acclaimed creative director Paul Andrew at the helm, the Italian luxury label remains true to its illustrious heritage of pragmatically opulent design that instils personality into sartorial staples. Seamlessly combining a daring aesthetic with functionality—and working from a multigenerational foundation—Andrew’s energetic silhouettes strike an elevated balance between modernity and timelessness with an understated elegance. Pedantically using premium-sourced leather and up-to-the-minute technology, sneakers and accessories are fashioned with the highest prestige. Hand-constructed loafers and Chelsea boots are offered in suede, grained, and buffed leathers, delivering a sophisticated and versatile wearability suited to both work and leisure activities. Belts, logo-adorned belt bags, wallets and briefcases replete with innovative minutiae pay reverence to the Art Deco architecture and early modern design upon which Ferragamo initially built the house.
