Serial Number: BA21 8192 Country of Manufacture: Italy Inclusions: Care Card Crafted in Italy, this Salvatore Ferragamo shoulder bag marries the house's refined sensibility with enduring practicality. The canvas body, trimmed in supple leather and finished with silver-tone hardware engraved with the Ferragamo script, speaks to the Florentine atelier's tradition of understated elegance. A single shoulder strap and top-zip closure frame the relaxed silhouette, while the black interior lining bears the interlocking Gancini motif—a signature introduced in the 1970s and rooted in the brand's equestrian heritage. The cream palette and soft construction reflect an aesthetic favoured in vintage Italian design, where form follows function without excess. Notes from the Curator The Gancini motif that covers the interior lining traces its lineage to the wrought-iron gates and horse-tether hooks of Palazzo Spini Feroni, the Florentine headquarters of the house, evolving into a signature brand icon during the 1970s. The word itself—"gancini"—is Italian for "little hooks," a humble descriptor for a symbol that has come to represent quiet Italian luxury. The serial code "BA-21" suggests production in the early 2000s, a period when Ferragamo leaned into accessible canvas constructions finished with leather accents and the cursive script hardware visible on the strap hardware. This cream shoulder bag, with its generous proportions and single-strap silhouette, reflects a design philosophy rooted in Florence's artisan tradition: softly structured, meticulously stitched, and carried by the quality of its materials rather than overt branding.
