"Salvatore Ferragamo" 00’s canvas hobo shoulder bag

Originating from shoemaking and continuously refining material handling and functional beauty, Salvatore Ferragamo has proposed a sophisticated everyday style. Here, we introduce a masterpiece that elevates playful mixed materials into elegance.

The neat appearance created by thick cotton canvas, combined with button and buttonhole motifs that provide a quiet rhythm, gives this piece a poised presence that subtly hints at tailoring within a lightness.

The shape is a hobo style with a single shoulder strap that can be carried as if hugging it, and it naturally contours to the body when worn on the shoulder, offering a perfect balance between not being too formal and maintaining the outline of luxury. The wide opening makes it easy to access the contents, creating a beautifully organized daily flow.

The central closure features a design reminiscent of Gancini, and the use of tortoiseshell resin parts creates a warmth different from leather or metal, resulting in a refined incorporation of the industrial feel unique to the Millennium period. Additionally, a large square buckle on the strap side complements the design, guiding the eye naturally vertically, which keeps the impression from becoming elongated and maintains an urban tension.

The interior features jacquard lining woven with the brand name diagonally, reflecting Ferragamo's sincere craftsmanship, including the act of opening and closing. The leather patch inside bears a silver foil stamp of the handwritten-style logo and BA-21 2851 MADE IN ITALY, providing substantial archive information.

It is believed to be from around 1998 to 2003, and the prefix BA-21 in the model number indicates a consistent coding system used for Ferragamo bags at that time. The use of resin tortoiseshell-like parts on the front of the luxury piece, concentrated in the late 90s to early 2000s, and the absence of independent serial tags or QR codes common after the 2010s, make it a highly credible item for dating.

While canvas as a material is prone to corner wear and fading, this piece has a good impression of color development and retains the atmosphere of the time beautifully, which is pleasing. Resin parts tend to crack over time, so handling it carefully while owning it enhances the vintage value even more.

In terms of styling, pairing a minimalist look with a neat shirt and slacks balances the lightness of the canvas and the sophistication of the Gancini design, subtly elevating everyday life. Additionally, combining it with flowing dresses or long coats allows you to enjoy the mood of urban boho from the Millennium era with a modern balance.

Please take this opportunity.
