During the last Shopbop sale I finally bit the bullet and purchased my first pair of Salvatore Ferragamo flats, a item that has been on my wish list for years. When the Shopbop package arrived I ripped it open and pushed aside the clothes reaching for the very, very pretty red box. As soon as I saw that ruby shade a smile crossed my face and I excitedly opened the box. Cue pure happiness.
I had decided to go with the Salvatore Ferragamo Varina Patent Flats in the classic Nero which is a shiny black patent leather and every inch of them is just so pretty. As the company likes to say the, “Rich patent leather lends polished appeal to these classic Ferragamo flats. A grosgrain bow loops through the polished logo medallion, and the padded footbed offers extra comfort.” These pretty shoes are made in Italy and are made of the highest quality calfskin leather.
When the box arrived at the office, as I can not get packages at my apartment, I was actually surprised that a few of my coworkers, and then later even a few of my friends, had not heard of the iconic designer, Salvatore Ferragamo. Unlike some of the newer brands Ferragamo shoes have been around for decades, since the Golden Age of Hollywood, where you could find his shoes on the likes of Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, and Ava Gardner. I am so excited I finally have a pair of these gorgeous shoes and now that I have worn them a few times have noticed the rubber heel helps tremendously.
What do you think of these shoes?

I’m a little biased since I worked in Salon Shoes at Nordstrom for a few years but who the hell has never heard of Ferragamo?! Their shoes are QUALITY! Love their pumps. My only gripe is that the bow can fray and then it’s all over. Grosgrain is not cooperative.

I LOVE! I have the heel version of these and they last forever. A major staple for any girl’s closet. How are the flats comfort wise? Congrats on the new babies, they are amazing!

The absolute best thing about Ferragamo’s is that they last forever!!! I’ve had many vintage pairs and they all withstood the test of time. I think you’ll love them for quite a while.

I’m flat footed, so in theory, flat shoes and me shouldn’t go definitely! But these are beautiful, such a study pair that would go with anything!
