Salvatore Ferragamo is one of the world's most important and best known 'Made in Italy' luxury brands. It stands for consolidated craftsmanship and creative innovation, two factors of excellence identifying the brand which have developed considerably over the years but always perfect in keeping with their origins.

Originally founded in 1927 and achieving fame as a shoemaker, Salvatore Ferragamo is now one of the world's leading designers, producers and distributors of luxury shoes, leather goods, accessories, fragrances and apparel for men and women.

The Group's product range includes eyewear and watches manufactured by licensees in Italy and abroad using local craftsmanship. Attention to uniqueness and exclusivity, uniting style, creativity and innovation with the typical Made in Italy quality and craftsmanship have always been the hallmarks of the Group's products. Since the Sixties, Ferragamo products have been made by a network of carefully vetted and loyal contractors.

The Group is wholly owned by the Ferragamo family and controlled by Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. Its Honorary Chairman is Wanda Ferragamo, widow of the founder; and Ferruccio Ferragamo, their eldest son is Chairman.

Salvatore Ferragamo's constant aim is to increase the knowledge of its distinguishing codes and consolidate brand awareness. In the best traditions of the brand, the Company maintains the high quality of its products by investing in research, production, innovation and new technology.

Investments in the efficiency of its distribution structure and the quality-oriented expansion of its retail network in strategic new markets have upgraded the Company's global presence. It now has 586 exclusive Ferragamo stores including 316 directly-owned stores over 99 countries around the world. Its success is the result of the continuous commitment of over 3,000 employees.

Quality, contemporary elegance and innovation are the distinguishing features of every Salvatore Ferragamo product and together with its craftwork traditions are what gives the brand its ultimate worth and universally recognized authenticity.
