SALVATORE FERRAGAMO
Born in 1898, in Bonito, province of
Irpinia, in the South of Italy, Salvatore
Ferragamo gave early signs of a passion
for shoemaking.
In 1914 he travelled to the United States
and opened a shoe shop in Hollywood,
making models for movie stars and the
world of cinema.
When he returned to Italy in 1927, he
settled in Florence and set up a
workshop in Palazzo Spini Feroni. The
beauty of his designs, his refined
workmanship, and the perfect fit he
achieved, ensured his reputation grew
quickly in Italy and Europe as well.
In 1947 he received the Neiman
Marcus Award, the so-called ‘Oscar’
of fashion.
After his death in 1960, his wife
Wanda and six children carried on his
work, and still continue to do so up
until this very day.
Even though the range of products that Salvatore Ferragamo produces today is far wider than in the past now including handbags, small leather goods, scarves, ties, and men's and ladies' ready-to-wear the original production method, despite an obvious evolution since then, remains the same as sixty years ago. That which carries the Ferragamo signature is derived directly from its design to its manufacture from the house’s headquarters.
In 1996, Ferragamo acquired control of Emanuel Ungaro. In 1997 Bulgari and Ferragamo set up a joint venture with the objective of producing and selling perfume and cosmetics throughout the world under the Ferragamo and Ungaro trademarks. In the second half of 1998 the first Ferragamo fragrance was launched, Salvatore Ferragamo pour Femme, followed by its bath line. In the second half of 1999 the Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme fragrance and its bath line were launched on the market. Since May 2000 the Salvatore Ferragamo pour Femme Summer Collection has been available in exclusive perfumeries and department stores worldwide
In addition, the Salvatore Ferragamo Group signed an agreement with Luxottica for the design, production and marketing of sunglasses and prescription glasses, that came on the market at the end of 1998 and at the end of May 1999 respectively. The new Sun Collection 2000 is now available in all Salvatore Ferragamo stores and in the best opticians, the Prescription glasses are available only from the best opticians.
