“Luxury is a necessity that begins when necessity ends”, so said Coco Chanel. That’s pretty true, don’t you think?
I’m normally fairly disinterested about Salvatore Ferragamo stuff, mostly associating it with ‘older’ tastes and designs. It’s a very classic brand to me, with neutral colours and very safe styles. All of which are the exact opposite of what I go for.
So I surprised myself when I popped into a boutique one day, and walked out with a bag!
The real name is the Salvatore Ferragamo Vara Patent Leather Piuma Clutch, apparently. But I just call it my “Ferragamo turquoise bag”, to make things easier 😉 It’s small, it’s compact, it’s glossy, and HELLO it’s turquoise!!!
Guess I don’t really have to explain why I basically LEAPED over the counter like a crazy person to buy this sucker.
How could I possibly resist that stunning colour? And the cute trademark bow??
I… ermmm… sorta butchered mine a little. I didn’t fancy the short strap – it made the bag seem very dressy so I couldn’t use it for casual wear. So I took it off and used pliers to stick on a long chain and VOILA! Cross body bag 😀
Omg. thank YOU! I bought mine in red and i really wanna have it in long chain. You just gave me an idea. ^^
Heh have fun and it’s so much nicer with a longer chain IMHO !
Yeah, that’s Karen Cheng. I adore ferragamo shoes and collect them:p I simply cannot resist the bows.
They’re such good quality too!
That’s Karen Cheng! I enjoy reading her blog too!
You’ve sharp eyes!
Pretty! I would have never had the guts to take pliers to rework a luxury bag.
Well the strap it came with unclips without needing to be pried open.. so it was just my own silver chain (not expensive) that I had to plier on. Not too scary 😉
