"Salvatore Ferragamo" Mid 90’s archival envelope flap top-handle bag

From shoe craftsmanship that laid the foundation of Italian luxury to a consistent pursuit of beauty and practicality in design, Salvatore Ferragamo has maintained its craftsmanship to this day, and we introduce a masterpiece that highlights the brand's unique elegance.

This exquisite piece is characterized by its neat envelope-style flap.

What first draws attention is the sharp-angled envelope flap line, which eliminates unnecessary decoration and designs shadow and light solely through surface transitions and angles, shaping the style the moment you hold it.

The leather has a fine texture and a modest sheen, with a tense quality similar to box calf, supporting its structure. This prevents the contours from becoming soft over time and preserves a sense of dignity in everyday gestures, which is a significant value.

The top handle is designed with a rounded shape for easy grip, and the connection to the metal fittings is understated, subtly refining the impression of the hand while maintaining a lightness that is not overly formal.

The bottom features pyramid-shaped gold studs, which help minimize damage when placed down, embodying Ferragamo's aesthetic of investing in less visible areas with quality and practicality.

The interior is based on a one-room structure with depth, equipped with a zipper pocket to clearly designate space for small items. This prevents distraction when opening, naturally encouraging careful handling of belongings.

An important aspect of this item is its credibility as an archive from the mid-1990s, with a serial number engraved inside that features an "E" followed by "21" and "4215" separated by spaces. This sequence of a single letter, a two-digit classification code, and a four-digit style number reflects the management style typical of Ferragamo at that time, physically confirming that it predates the transition to two-letter alphabet codes or other formats seen in later years.

The logo, featuring Salvatore Ferragamo in a cursive script, is slimly designed, and the "MADE IN ITALY" is arranged in a balanced manner. This makes it easy to identify as an intermediate period style, distinct from the 1980s old style or the thicker expressions that emerged after the 2000s, providing reassurance as an archive with a consistent sense of era.

In terms of styling, simply pairing a plain jacket with slacks to create a neat look will emphasize the contours and tighten the overall appearance. Additionally, adding it to a soft style with a knit and long skirt or wide pants can add a touch of subdued, moody elegance.

Definitely take this opportunity.
