FERRAGAMO REVAMPS MIAMI BEACH

FERRAGAMO PLATFORM SANDAL 1938Legendary Italian fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo  has revamped the boutique in the Bal Harbour shops in Florida.  Ferragamo is the patron saint of designer shoes.    Manolo, Jimmy Choo, & Louboutin all owe their Soles to Salvatore.    Decades ahead of his time, Ferragamo was already known in the American Press as the master of designer shoes by 1925.    Drawn to Hollywood from his native Italy, Ferragamo set up shop in California and shoed every major Hollywood startlet from Audrey Hepburn to Marlene Dietrich.   Audrey Hepburn with Salvatore Ferragamo

Much has changed in the 80+ years since Salvatore launched the collection - the company now offers a full range of RTW, Accessories, & Shoes for Women and Men.   One thing that has not changed is the ingenious design of the Ferragamo shoe.    Salvatore knew the arch was the pressure point for women when they wear high heels.   The breakthrough design of his last has never been duplicated.   Ferragamo was the first shoe designer to combine the concept of comfort and luxury in women's footwear.    A legacy like this - you can not buy - you earn it!
