Height: 6.75in Length: 12.25in Depth: 4.5in Strap Drop: 5.5in Notes from the Curator This Salvatore Ferragamo handbag in black canvas with signature interwoven chain-and-leather handles exemplifies the Florentine house's late-1990s and early-2000s turn toward textile-bodied styles that balanced refined hardware with softer materials. The shoulder-bag format follows a clean, rectangular profile – generous enough for professional or travel use yet defined by taut construction that recalls the architectural discipline Ferragamo brought to shoemaking in earlier decades. The woven chain handle, a motif seen across the brand's late-twentieth-century accessories, merges Ferragamo's expertise in metal and leather, each link of the chain entwined with black leather in a technique both functional and decorative. Inside, the black textile lining and zippered compartments reflect the brand's commitment to usability, a principle Salvatore Ferragamo himself championed when he studied anatomy to improve the fit of his shoes. The EE-21 code places the bag within a specific internal line, and the "Made in Italy" stamp on the interior tag signals production rooted in the Florentine artisan tradition the house has sustained since Salvatore returned to Florence in 1927.
