The countdown is getting low now. Only a few days left until Christmas. And if experience serves me, you’re one of two people. Either you’re sitting comfortably by your tree, all the presents bought and wrapped, sipping hot cocoa by the fire, listening to Manheim Steamroller, or you’ve just realized there are only a few days left until Christmas and you haven’t bought a damn thing, so know you’re rushing out the door, running to every department and toy store in the area, scrambling to find all the gifts on your list, unable to find the only toy your kid asked for, which happens to also be the number one, must have, in-demand, sold out, popular child’s toy of the season. Which makes your life a living hell, but makes for a great Disney movie (and by great, I mean pretty terrible. Like, “Old Dogs” terrible). But no matter which kind of holiday shopper you are, Edna Early or Polly Procrastinator, today’s daily deal is likely to be a welcome site. It’s the Ferragamo Ivory Coated Canvas Tote, the perfect weekender bag for running errands and on-the-go carrying. It’s a classy little bag to help you stay organized during the last days of the holidays, or carry a few of the return items you’ll be taking back after the presents are opened (black Friday’s ugly cousin, Return Saturday). So whether you’re strolling around town taking in all the Christmas sights, or running around like an insane asylum escapee trying to cross everything off your list, you’ll find this name-brand tote to be extremely helpful.

History of Salvatore Ferragamo company

Incorporated in 1927, Salvatore Ferragamo Italia S.p.A., is the parent company of the florentine Ferragamo Group, one of the world’s leading fashion brands in luxury goods. The group is active in the creation, production and distribution of shoes, leather goods, ready to wear, silk products and accessories, as well as fragrances for men and women. The product range also includes eyewear and watches manufactured by licensees.

With about 2.600 employees and a network of over 550 mono-brand stores, the Ferragamo Group runs operations in Italy and worldwide, which provide the brand with a broad footprint in Europe, America and Asia.



Salvatore Ferragamo emigrated from southern Italy to Boston and then California in 1914. He opened the Hollywood Boot Shop in 1923, and made shoes for movie stars such as Joan Crawford and Gloria Swanson, as well as for films such as Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments. He returned to Italy and set up a shoe shop in Florence in 1927. However the modern shoemaking company regards 1928 as the date of its foundation and so is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2008. Salvatore filed for bankruptcy in 1933, during the Great Depression, but by 1938 he was in a position to buy the Palazzo Spini Feroni, one of the great palaces of Florence, which now houses the company's flagship store and museum.

The company flourished after World War II, expanding the workforce to 700 craftsmen producing 350 pairs of hand-made shoes a day.[citation needed] After Salvatore's death in 1960, his widow Wanda took over the running of the business and expanded its operations to include eyewear, perfume, belts, scarves, bags, watches, and a ready to wear clothing line.

The company is currently owned by the Ferragamo family, which in November 2006 included Salvatore's widow Wanda, five children, 23 grandchildren and other relatives. There is a rule that only 3 members of the family can work at the company, prompting fierce competition. To ease these tensions, in September 2006 the family announced a plan to float 48% of the company on the stock market, and since October 2006 Michele Norsa has served as managing and general director. However, as of January 2008, this plan may be on put on hold in the midst of the downturn in the financial market. If the listing on the stock market proceeds, the fund will be directed primarily towards building its positions in China. The company is holding its 80th birthday exhibition in Shanghai.
