2 0 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The luggage collection returns to the elegance of the classic design but the look still remains modern. This collection reflects a focus on business by appealing to the needs of the modern man: multifunctional pouches as well as cases for iPads, laptops and smartphones. The built-in briefcase or the briefcase with matching document case are the new must- have items, thanks to their versatility and carrying capacity. Colour studies have explored new effects: Byson leather, or the shine of Dutch blue have become key distinctions and are also present in ongoing lines, such as the Banner line, which uses a tri-colour band made up of contrasting colours. Soft and naturally treated leathers highlight a bolder attitude in the season’s collection. The metals, buckles and leathers used by Ferragamo are quintessentially classic. Natural, nappa and full-grain calfskin leathers are used in the casual style bags. In the small leather goods, the touch of colour is a key element; again, Byson and Dutch blue are predominant. The signature style is reinforced through elements of continuity in the Drivers andmoccasins that sport the Vara Rave and Ten Forty One buckles. Finally, the belts are a masterpiece of craftsmanship in their classic style – from the removable leather to atypical finishes of the buckles – as well as the focus on the materials used for the footwear. The more casual part remains central to Ferragamo’s DNA in a bolder way and on a larger scale: from the Link buckle to the Vara Rave cufflinks. The wide and varied selection of jacquard print ties takes centre stage in the accessories collection. From iconic symbols of the Ferragamo universe and new decorations to animal motifs, unprecedented prints tell new stories of animals, objects, flowers and fruits, micro-designs, sport and the spun technique. Totally new this season is the wonderful modern spin given to the original classic ties through the combination of colours and the introduction of more defined lines. Once again, the creative designs perfectly balance the traditional and the contemporary; colours and new proportions are designed for the modern man whilst still respecting the Ferragamo tradition. Scarves have become recognisable accessories for menswear and are more popular than ever. They have become essential additions for everyone, and for every occasion. Unrivalled luxury in a fusion of colours and materials: the new season offers sublime blends of cashmere and silk, precious wool and modal yarns alongside the finest pure cashmere. Stripes, checks and weaves symbolise a rich and diversified product range. Finally, the extensive and unique jewellery collection reinvents the brand’s classic touch with a modern twist. Uniting trademark architectural rigour with a down-to-earth emphasis on homespun comforts, Ferragamo warms up the autumn and winter season with a structured yet more relaxed range of ready-to-wear, footwear, leather goods, and accessories in a 3D study of textures.
