PLUM BAGS

ICONIC FIAMMA MINI (ANOTHER TREND IN ITSELF) IN PLUM SUEDE - AN ELLE MAGAZINE **MUST HAVE** FOR FALLOnce again The Fiamma steals the show in a red hot (actually PLUM) editorial in Harper's Bazaar for August 2014. PLUM FIAMMA WITH GOLD HARDWARE AS SEEN IN HARPER'S BAZAAR - AUGUST 2014- $2,950.00 The Large Plum Fiamma with Gold hardware is center stage alongside Dolce & Gabbana, Ninna Ricci, Gucci, Tod's, and Balenciaga - proving Ferragamo is a trend setter once again for  Fall.  These accessories can all be worn with Salvatore Ferragamo runway looks for Fall.  Burgundy / Plum is the new Black for next season.  The rich color is a great option for those looking to break away from black, but might be a little self conscious wearing the bright primary colors that have been so in fashion these past few years.  Burgundy and Plum are perfect with all shades of gray and autumnal browns.

With all the attention The Fiamma has been getting these past few weeks, another Ferragamo icon might be getting a little jealous!  Not one to be outshone, a gorgeous suede Sofia with gold hardware is one of Elle Magazine "Editor's Picks" for Fall.   

In case you haven't noticed - GOLD hardware is back in a big way for Fall 2014.

FALL PREVIEWS - BOOTS - TALL AND SHORT

Fall Previews have begun and South Coast Plaza was buzzing with chic shoppers reserving the hottest Ferragamo runway looks. UNIQUE GOLD DETAILING GIVE "NEVERS" A MIDAS TOUCH - $1,550.00 With so many wearable, fashionable choices - it was exciting to see women having a hard time editing their choices! 

(Don't be shy to suggest BOTH when you are working with a client who is trying "choose" between two looks).

The "Nevers" Bootie is about as detailed as a shoe can be!ULTIMATE FALL BOOTIE - THE SHAPE OF THE SEASON  With the half moon heel, the golden metallic plate, the grommet detail, Gancio buckle, and unprecedented finishing (sponge pressed with color / allowed to dry 24 hours / then sent to a men's shoe factory to be hand waxed) - the masculine / feminine edge of these booties make them an excellent option for so many looks.  FLATTERING FOR MOST SHAPES - THE WOOL / CASHMERE WRAP VEST - $2,850.00 Perfect with opaque tights back to a dress as seen on the runway, or worn with short socks back to jean shorts - these booties are ones to collect. 

*Due to the layers of finishing - these shoes will only get better with age*

These booties were featured heavily on the Fall runway - alongside full on knee boots.  It was one extreme or the other - short or tall.   Hitting the runway with a showstopping wool and cashmere wrap vest that got major attention at the first Fall preview, these booties are about to be the hottest shoe for Fall.   The wrap vest is a KILLER TRAVEL option.  Walking into any room wearing this asymmetric creation will turn heads.  BOOTIE AND BAG OF THE SEASON - SALVATORE FERRAGAMO FALL 2014 Doesn't matter if she is walking through an airport,  into a restaurant, or just down the sidewalk - all eyes will be on her.  Taking the vest / cape / tunic to another level, Massimilliano Giornetti continues to show off his skills at draping and proportion.   *Many of the Fall outerwear looks have a slightly oversized cut - giving them a masculine touch that flatters most women.*

With only 30 units of this wrap vest being produced for the U.S. and priced under 3K- this gorgeous piece is bound to be gone before the beaches close for the season.   *RESERVE one NOW for your best client*

Just in case a client needs any convincing how hot these booties are - flash her the image of the Fall campaign.  Shot by Mert & Marcus - these images are stunning.. and the booties look cool -  bottom line.  (This is one style mothers and daughters will be fighting over).  

The Fall Season is going to be HOT - and it has nothing to do with the weather!!
