I wanted to resurrect this thread because I've been wondering the same exact thing lately, and I wondered if anyone had new thoughts they wanted to share. TIA! 
I am more obsessed about their shoes, but also have a wallet and a mini sac. I think their leather is great, feels durable and i don't have to baby them as much. However most styles of their bags may perceive bit more conservative looking than the other brands. Maybe that's why they are underrated?
I think they are "under the radar". To me their designs tend to be more restrained and classic. For other people, I can understand that "restrained and classic" equates to "conservative". I only have one Ferragamo bag and I have been impressed with the quality of the materials and workmanship. Also, I've received compliments from people on my bag without knowing what brand it is. Generally, they say something like, "I don't know what bag you have but I can tell that it is a really nice bag." I do plan on acquiring more Ferragamo bags in the future. I recently just got sidetracked with their shoes and ended up buying a couple of pairs

Thank you both for your responses. I think you both have great points. I'm very happy with my Ferragamo bag (which I bought on sale!)......the saffiano leather is lovely and the color (a beautiful sapphire) is really striking. And usually, I'm not one for little "bows" on bags, but this one is very discreet and subtle; I like it a lot, actually!
They have little 'trend'y-wow' factor. They do get on board with the trend of the moment by changing up the silhouette ... like including a tote with wings in the lineup ... but it's not a forward kind of thing. My mother could wear that one as well as me. The Sofia is so beautifully designed that it has endured a long time now and has come to look, if not youthful, then at least young and 'established.' The new bag, the Fiamma I think, is a bold statement for Ferragamo. Very Liuxe.. Will it catch on?
I have 2 Ferragamos and will keep adding to the group. The quality brings tears to my eyes ... in the best way.

I only own one cross-body bag, but am up to my 4th Ferragamo wallet. Love their quality.
The bag designs, while lovely, were just too "mature" looking for me and I'm not in my 20's. So have stayed away from them for the most part.
But, I instantly fell for the Fiamma and am considering getting it in the large size. I think it's a beautiful bag.
I am a huge fan of anything Salvatore Ferragamo. It's understated elegance that can stand the test of time. Seriously. My purses from Ferragamo keep it's shape and color - their shoes are comfortable and great for my wider feet
+1, I was just about to say the same thing. I love everything Ferragamo. I kind of love the fact that my friends aren't carrying my SF bags around. And the quality of their bags and shoes are just amazing!!
