Ferragamo Outlets are waiting to make a star out of you!

Salvatore Ferragamo is known as the “shoemaker to the stars.” Back in the late 1920's before most of the big names in Italian fashion were even born, Salvatore Ferragamo was crafting beautiful shoes for some of the most famous feet in Hollywood.

Salvatore Ferragamo was very young when he patented his first invention in the world of fashion: his strong but light cork wedge. Widely imitated and recreated in many different materials, shapes and colors, the wedge-heeled shoe of Ferragamo made a huge impact on the world of fashion. Throughout its history, the company has been known for innovative designs and use of materials. Such ingenuity goes back to Salvatore's time in California, when he studied anatomy to make shoes, which were more comfortable. Notable innovations include the wedge heel, the shell-shaped sole, the ‘invisible’ sandal, metal heels and soles, the 18-carat gold sandal, the sock-shoe, sculpture heels, and the gloved arch shoe.

Ferragamo's relationship with the cinema never ended. When Marilyn Monroe declared “I don’t know who invented high heels but all women owe him a lot,” she was probably referring to Ferragamo, who was the creator of the famous stiletto heels with metal reinforcements that she used to wear and which he designed especially for the star. Audrey Hepburn inspired him to design a ballet pump that eventually came to epitomize the style of the beautiful actress. The list of stars who wore Ferragamo is a long one including Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, Sophia Lauren and Lauren Bacall.

It was in 1965, under her supervision, that the revitalized Ferragamo group started producing its famous bags. Four years later, the accessory known as the “gancino” made its first appearance in the catwalk. The gancino handbag soon became famous and everyone started to buy it. In recent decades, the group has launched a ready-to- wear line that is simple but luxurious and features butter-soft leather garments, as well as accessories and jewelry lines. In 1998, they began a collaboration with Luxottica to produce a sunglasses and eyewear collection, which was followed by the Ferragamo Perfumes division in 2001.
