"Salvatore Ferragamo" Late 90’s Gancini embossed leather tote bag

Combining traditional craftsmanship with refined functional beauty, Salvatore Ferragamo has created products that embody intelligence within elegance. Here, we introduce an outstanding tote bag featuring the Gancini motif prominently on the entire surface.

This exquisite piece features glossy black leather with three-dimensional embossing, with the pattern subtly emerging depending on the angle of the light.

The internal leather tag with the code “AQ-21” indicates it was manufactured in the late 1990s to early 2000s, and the handwritten logo in silver on a black background is a clear sign of this period. Since Ferragamo tags change with each era, the configuration of this tag and the leather quality strongly suggest it is from that period.

The exterior features the brand’s iconic Gancini motif arranged in a lattice pattern, with tonal embossed processing creating structural shadows. Since the texture is carved into the leather itself rather than printed, the three-dimensional feel remains durable over time, maintaining a classic yet modern impression, which is part of its charm.

The form is a self-standing square silhouette, equipped with a zipper at the opening, and the interior features red suede lining. The calm black exterior contrasts with the subtle sex appeal of the peek of red inside, creating a luxurious contrast felt only by the user. The partition pockets and zip compartments are neatly arranged, offering ample storage capacity suitable for both business and daily use.

During this era, Ferragamo was in a period where, even within the so-called “logo mania” trend, it subtly expressed elegance without over-asserting, focusing on craftsmanship. This bag is also an embodiment of that context. It quietly speaks of the brand on the outside, while revealing passion on the inside, embodying the Italian aesthetic of that time.

As a styling piece, it looks elegant when paired with tailored jackets or trench coats, and it’s also beautiful when combined with minimal tops or long skirts to create a relaxed feel. Because it can be carried with a genderless impression, it naturally blends into modern mode styles.

Definitely take this opportunity.
