"Salvatore Ferragamo" 95’s-05’s Gancini clasp vacchetta leather bracelet

Based on his roots as a shoemaker, combining functional beauty and elegance, Salvatore Ferragamo has created a piece that elevates the brand's icon, the Gancini, into a structural masterpiece.

This exquisite piece is designed not to be decorated like jewelry but to transform the clasp itself into a design element, creating a quiet strength at the wrist.

First, the thick rectangular plate with a hairline satin finish catches the eye. It reflects light softly without bouncing it back strongly, giving it a calm presence despite being metal, and it does not diminish the style's dignity.

The Gancini motif combined with the plate functions not just as decoration but as a clasp, with the operation of inserting and fixing the hook into the opening included in the design. The shape cultivated by Ferragamo in shoes is a philosophy of function that is directly reflected in this piece.

The surface features a subtle cursive Ferragamo engraving, beautifully balanced to convey its background without excessive assertion, and the stamp of MADE IN ITALY on the back quietly affirms its craftsmanship pride.

Furthermore, the leather fixing on the back uses two minus screws, which are different from the rivets and Torx screws common in modern mass production, indicating a classical design that speaks to its era.

The leather is thick and firm, with a straightforward expression reminiscent of Vachetta leather, and as it is used, it absorbs the oils and air from the hand, developing into a deep caramel color.

The edges are carefully stitched with the same color, supporting a textured feel that is not solely reliant on softness, and despite being an accessory, it also gives a trustworthy impression like a tool, which is a strength of this piece.

The era is roughly from 1995 to 2005, and the signature logo in cursive is in the style before the 2022 block letter logo update. Additionally, the structure using a minus screw for fixing is incompatible with the mass-produced designs of the 2010s and later, making this a highly credible background for the manufacturing period.

And during this period, Ferragamo was a time when luxury was maintained alongside a dense craftsmanship, where the weightiness of metal and the space for leather to develop coexist, offering a depth different from mere logo accessories.

As an everyday accessory, it is especially recommended for those who want to create a focal point at the wrist instead of a watch, or for those who want to add convincing presence without overstatement to their outfit. Whether at work or in private time, each movement of the wrist quietly accumulates a sense of presence.

The beautiful operation of the clasp makes the act of putting on and taking off look refined, which is a unique value of this bracelet.

In terms of styling, subtly peeking out from the cuffs of a neat shirt or jacket naturally exudes the elegance characteristic of Ferragamo. Pairing a minimal top with bottoms that have a drape creates a focus on the wrist, leaving a gender-neutral, fashionable impression.

Take this opportunity.
