Hi Steph, I have serious doubts about this pair. The biggest red flag for me is the logo printed on the innersole. The lettering of "FERRAGAMO" should be in gold block letters rather than the outline of each letter in gold. Every pair of shoes I've come across with this outline lettering has turned put to be fake. There are other red flags as well but the logo is a dead giveaway in my experience. I'm also very suspicious of any seller who won't back their product with a good refund policy. Hope this helps!

Item: Microfiber/Twill Bag with Brushed Silver Hardware and Black Leather Strap
Italy, AU-21 691
Seller: Savers Thrift Store $3.75

Comments: I am not at all familar with Ferragamo bags but I found this at the thrift store and it was cute and seemed well-made, please share your opinion about authenticity.

If it is genuine, do you know anything about the bag, when it was made, is it vintage? Let me know if you need more pictures and thanks so much for your help!

Hi Kate, Sorry but I can't help you with this one. I hope someone else comes along who can authenticate it for you!

I think it's authentic. I am more familiar with the shoes, but the hardware looks like it has some heft to it, the hardware on the front being spot on. I think you got a great deal.

Thanks and you are correct! pazza4sacamain was able to authenticate it and sent some information about my SF find:

"It is a bag from the "gancini" collection. Gancini meaning "little hook" in Italian, refers to the intertwined "hooks" that attach to the shoulder strap. Mid to late 90's. The style was quite popular back then - and still is today."

It does have unusual intertwined rings to connect the strap to the bag. It was marked $4.99 but it was 25% off day so I got it even cheaper. I am sure that they didn't recognize the name when they priced it.

Hi, I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on these shoes. They were picked up at a thrift store, but are just too tight, so I was wanting to sell them if they are legit! Thanks!

Hi Arizabif,

I've never seen this style before but they're obviously vintage so that's why. Based on what I can see in the pics, they look authentic. It'd be good to have a photo of the soles, just to be on the safe side, but still, I'm 99.9% confident that they're the real deal. Good luck with selling them! :smile1:

Hii thanks a lot for ur help.
I shouldnt really trust a seller based on their feedback should i?

No worries Steph! Feedback's obviously important for lots of reasons but you're right, it doesn't guarantee authenticity. And I'm not actually 'pointing the finger' at the seller (or sellers in general) - they'd more than likely never knowingly sell a fake. Sometimes though, sellers aren't experts in all the brands they deal in, and I imagine a few items may slip through the net. In this case, I'm not 100% sure that the shoes are fake, but based on my experience, I definitely have doubts. :thinkin:

Thank you! I really love these shoes, and for vintage, they aren't all that worn. Maybe I will talk with a cobbler to see what he says about stretching them before I give up.

These are the soles.
