You don’t need to reinvent the wheel – you need to reissue it! At least that’s the case for a historic house like Ferragamo that has a vast collection of iconic pieces and a clientele who longs to get their hands on every last one. The label’s store in Florence started selling reissues (now part of the special collection “Ferragamo’s Creations”) in 2006, crafting everything by hand just as had been done in the past. Shopping there is like walking into a museum and being able to take home all the art! Here are a few personal favorites…
Medium Leather Bag: This metallic hexagon looks like a golden orange – peel back one slice and you’re in. Carry it crossbody during the day, then remove the chain to use it as a nighttime clutch. On thecorner.com for $1,490.
Platform Sandals: The Rainbow is the single most famous shoe in all the brand’s history. The fact that it’s available now means that you should pick it up while you can. I am! On thecorner.com for $2,500.
Renaissance Sandal in Kid, Cork and Velvet: Salvatore himself designed this model back in 1938. It was inspired by the chopines (a.k.a. platform sandals) worn during the Renaissance era. At Ferragamo for €2,000.
Top Handle Calypso in Metal: I’d love to see a pickpocket try to steal this! The metal bag could double as a weapon, yet with the top handle and signature Ferragamo hardware, it would be about the most ladylike weapon you’d ever see. At Ferragamo for €1,750.
