About Ferragamo
Salvatore Ferragamo made shoes for Hollywood before returning to Italy, and invented the wedge heel in the 1930s using cork when steel was requisitioned for war. The company's museum in Florence holds thousands of his original lasts. The family has held control for nearly a century, and the Vara bow pump introduced in 1978 remains one of the most consistently produced shoes in luxury.
