Ferragamo Handbags & Purses

Salvatore Ferragamo may be famous for his footwear, but he is also a highly sought-after bag designer. Creating fine handbags has transformed Ferragamo from a custom cobbler for the elite into a global fashion powerhouse with a network of boutiques in New York, Milan, Paris, and London. Today, Ferragamo purses are among the most treasured worldwide.

Ferragamo’s fresh take on classics and leatherworking heritage make this brand’s designer bags a hit with collectors who prize stylish Italian leather goods. Ferragamo offers all manner of bag options from the ever-popular Fiamma model (named after a late in-house designer) to hard-to-find vintage pony hair purses.
