Fiamma Ferragamo wearing the shoes |
Comfort was the priority when designing this model it took a couple of seasons to get the perfect shape. The shoe was given a low heel and round toe. The heel is 1 ¼ inches tall. The bow goes through a small gold plaque bearing Salvatore Ferragamo logo. The design of the shoe was accidental. The prototype had a bow made from a strip of grosgrain which was supposed to be leather. The modeler misunderstood this and kept the grosgrain bow for the final model. Good thing that the modeler made this inference cause it looks better with grosgrain. Coming from a man point of view the shoe has been very popular with women because of its minimalist design. It doesn't have too much of anything every detail is well proportioned.
