From that early age, Ferragamo never looked back as his creative impulse blossomed. In the 1920s,  Ferragamo worked with many Hollywood stars creating amazing designs. He returned to Italy soon after where he founded the eponymous company making unique handmade footwear.  A brilliant designer, Ferragamo innovative and scientific approach to shoes engendered new concepts, including wedge heel and cage heel. Almost six decades after his death, Salvatore Ferragamo’s company continues to attract patronage from film stars and celebrities. His belt, handbags, shoes and other luxury goods for men and women are available across the globe.
