Brand: Salvatore Ferragamo Material: Pebbled leather Exterior Colour: White/cream Hardware: Silver-tone metal Dimensions: 9.5" W x 6" H x 3.5" D (approx.) Strap Drop: 6.5" (approx.) Closure: Top zip with turnlock detail Interior: Chartreuse fabric lining with zip pocket Inclusions: Bag only Made In: Italy Serial Number: BM 21 73 C Crafted in Italy from supple pebbled calfskin, this Salvatore Ferragamo satchel embodies the house's tradition of impeccable leatherwork and understated elegance. The sculptural silhouette is anchored by substantial D-ring buckles at each side and a signature turnlock closure engraved with the Ferragamo name, rendered in gleaming silver-tone hardware. Dual rolled handles incorporate delicate chain-link detail and lobster-clasp attachments, a refined touch characteristic of the Florentine atelier. The structured frame is secured by a top zip, opening to a vibrant chartreuse lining—a hallmark interior accent that signals Italian provenance and mid-2000s design. Notes from the Curator This satchel reflects the Florentine atelier's return to its leatherwork origins during the mid-2000s, when handbags accounted for much of the house's expansion beyond footwear. Salvatore Ferragamo returned to Florence in 1927 expressly for the city's centuries-old heritage in leather craftsmanship, and the factory he established blended American precision with Italian artisanal tradition. The chartreuse interior lining is a hallmark detail reserved for Italian-made pieces from this period, signaling both provenance and the house's preference for unexpected color pairings in hidden zones. The D-ring buckles echo equestrian leatherwork, a visual language Ferragamo has deployed since Gancini—the double-hook motif inspired by the gate of Palazzo Spini Ferroni—was first used as a symbol in the 1950s and evolved into a bag clasp in the 1970s. The turnlock closure, engraved with the house name, sits at the confluence of function and decoration, ensuring a secure frame while preserving the clean geometry of the structured silhouette.
