Central to the Florentine experience that guided Ferragamo’s creativity, the heartbeat symbol of the Renaissance celebration was Italy’s Uffizi gallery.
Started by Giorgio Vasari as offices – uffizi – for Cosmo I de’Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1569, it was one of the first modern museums, opening its gallery to the public in 1769 and becoming a museum just under a century later . Throughout Ferragamo’s history in Florence, the Uffizi gallery has been there, a guiding light reminding us of the importance of new ideas, art, beauty and creativity.

By placing muses, friends and members of its diverse creative community in sharp tailoring and exquisite suiting, with richly textured fabrics, bold materials and colors, the Hug bag and archives inspired the golden sandal in the context of the work of Bellini, Veronese and Botticelli, Davis created a dialogue between the past and the present, where both the spirits of the Renaissance and the luxurious world of the 21st century were cast in different overlapping reliefs.
