FERRAGAMO TIME

HARPER'S BAZAAR THINKS THIS NUDE SALVATORE FERRAGAMO CALFSKIN BAG HAS A LITTLE SOMETHING "EXTRA" - $1,990.00When an accessory is popular, it gets photographed for an editorial in a fashion magazine. ELLE MAGAZINE ENCOURAGES YOU TO "GO NUDE" WITH SALVATORE FERAGAMO THIS SPRING When an accessory is MAJOR, it gets photographed in all the magazines!  Pale pink is key for Spring and Harper's Bazaar and Elle Magazines both celebrate the NUDE color palette in March with Ferragamo at the center of it all!  The soft color combined with the structured shape make this bag  wonderfully neutral to wear with so many different looks.  Remember that nude, pink, and light beige can be ultra sophisticated when worn back to chocolate brown, mauve, or another shade of pink. The difference with "pink" as a current trend is we are seeing it much more neutral than in years past.  It's a layered look as opposed to just one shot of a hot color - like red.  With the pink / beige/ nude stories, it's like painting a picture - or arranging a bouquet - you add and add until the balance is just right.    As we can see in both Harper's Bazaar and Elle - sometimes it is ok to match your bag to your shoes - (just don't make it a habit). SALVATORE FERRAGAMO STRUCTURED CALFSKIN BAG WITH ADJUSTABLE SHOULDER STRAP AND PALLADIO HARDWARE - $1,990.00
