Salvatore Ferragamo Serial Number Check. 8/19/2020 0 Comments Whilst as Picture F is a fake one. Look at the word SALVATORE FERRAGAMO at the sole, i cant even. Some cosmetics should be used within a specified period of time after opening due to oxidation and microbiological factors. Their packaging has a drawing of an open jar, inside it, there is a number representing the number of months. In this example, it is 6 months of use after opening. Production date.

Hello, I recently bought two pairs of Ferragamo shoes. I browsed the threads here and also the label resource. It seems when it comes to Ferragamo, dating the shoes isn't really easy. I don't want to break the rules to post only one item per thread.

But in this case I have a question for two pairs of shoes from the same maker and form around the same era (I guess). So I thought it would be more comfortable, especially for the comparison between both, not to separate them into two threads. I hope I have your understanding, otherwise please tell me. From the label resource I understand that the words 'Creations' or 'Salvatore' might be important for dating Ferragamo shoes. But here I get a bit confused with my shoes. These black sling back pumps sport the 'Creations' label.

They have a small stiletto heel (which Ferragamo used quite earlyas I read) with a leather heeltip. The second pair is this coloured suede sling back peep toe. It has the 'Salvatore' label and also a leather heeltip. It isof the same design as these shoes from Victoria & Albert Museum So the design might be that early as around 1945 but the label indicates a date of making after Mr. Ferragamos death? What I read here is also, that Ferragamo kept making some designs for ages with a change in some details. Interesting details for dating Ferragamo shoes might also be until when they used still leather for the heeltip.

Also until when they did this style of insole design at the back with the additional colored leather piece for sling back shoes. And I wonder what we can make of the handwritten number inside the shoes. Isn't it some kind of production number, maybe stating the craftsman and a consecutive number? So anyone might help me with dating these? Thank you very much! Thank you for that. I heard and read about that exhibition and I bought the book 'Killer Heels'.

Sadly I live to far away, in Germany. But instead I saw the exhibition 'Shoes: Pleasure & Pain' at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. In fact the connecting detail between the golden leather stripes on your picture looks likewise made as the rim detail on my black ones. Both also have the 'Creations' label. But irritating instead is for me that the back of the insole has no additional leather piece as mine. Ah, questions over questions.;-).

Yes, I felt lucky to visit the exhibit twice, so far. There was a copy of the book, set out on a table for all to peruse, along with other shoe books, so I had a chance to look through it. Nice that you have a copy! Certain similarities are present, for sure. The black joining on yours is a whipstitch type joining, and on the red museum ones, it appears to be a different variety of joining stitch. In the Killer Heels book, what exact year is given for the gold and red wedges? Thanks for your post, Thomas!

I love Ferragamos. Waiting to hear from Jonathan. You are right about Ferragamo repeating styles and designs. The black pair has the stiletto but the toe is almond shaped - typical of 1956/57 as the new style of pointed toe/stiletto heeled shoe comes into fashion. The other pair could date almost anywhere from as early as c. 1948 until c.

1956, the peep toe and thicker heel in combination was around throughout that time. Ferragamo was doing patchwork uppers during the war in Italy and afterwards, but the war shoes are wedge heeled or platform, as are most of the immediate post war shoes. He liked thicker walking heels a lot, in fact I think he is better known for his sturdy heels than his stilettos. If I had to pick a date, I would go for c. 1949-50 on the patchwork pair.

But what might speak against the colored being older than the black ones is the label: The black ones' label says 'Creations', the coloured ones' label says already 'Salvatore'. Shouldn't be the 'Salvatore' label be younger than the 'Creations' label? And can one confirm the information I read somewhere that 'Salvatore' was used only after Mr. Ferragamo's death? The label source here shows also a 'Salvatore' label said to come from a 1950's shoe.

Are there others here owning this old shoes from Ferragamo? I would like to compare the handwritten numbering inside the shoes to see if we can make something of that. It is not about trying to date a pair of shoes to the exact year (that won't be possible I think) but just to have other information one can rely on for dating beyond the style and the label. I will begin here with mine: This pair has the numbering 'IN2041 18SX 6%B' This pair has the numbering 'IN8060 7SX 6Bi' I have just a slight idea about the numbering: First column might be the the model (or production?) number, then might follow the craftsman (or shoe last?) number, last is of course the size including width. I remember the 'Creations' and 'Salvatore' discussion came up once before. It might be a difference between made in his atelier and made off-the-rack, which is why it appears more frequently after his death in 1963.

Not sure how to explain it otherwise because there is nothing about those shoes that looks post 1963 to me - the leather top lift, the type of finishing, the shape of the heel, the peep toe essentially disappears in the late 1950s and doesn't show up again until the mid-late 70s, but these just don't look 70s to me. I don't know. I am pretty sure the patchwork pair appear in the Salvatore Ferragamo book, where shoes held in the Ferragamo collection are dated (circa) and the inside marks are also noted in the details, so it's worth looking at if you can get hold of a copy.

Unfortunately I only borrowed a copy from the uni library a few years ago (it is a huge tome) so I can't check right now. You might be able to see, by comparing the manufacturer's codes if it were the original design or a later re-make perhaps. There is something off about the patchwork pair for me. Although I agree the style is 50s, I have only ever had this label on post 1950's examples.

The lining colour matches 50's examples, the silver colour buckle is more unusual for Ferragamo shoes (it's usually gold, to match the label), the shape of the buckle right for 50's to early 60s though. The main sticking point for me is the printing of the label looks newer than 50s to me. Older Ferragamo labels are well impressed, you can see the gold goes into the stamped shape, this is a quite a light surface printing, more like that I have on 1960s+ Ferragamos. I suspect these are either from around 1960 - I have seen some odd looking sandals from this period, because the fashion is for a pointed toe, and that can't be achieved in a sandal, or they could be a custom order reproduction, as they are faithful to the earlier period design, but the label is newer, yet the manufacturer's markings are handwritten, which past the point they start using stamped markings, usually indicates custom made to me. It could be a good pair to contact the Ferragamo archives about and see if they can/will tell you anything about them.

I've never seen the style of the black pair before, but it is worth noting they appear to have been dyed - quite well, but they may not have been black originally. Here are my Ferragamo shoes: 1940s Ferragamo's Creations for Saks Fifth Ave patchwork leather wedge sandals: These looked very close to a pair of 1930's shoes I saw in the book mentioned above, however due to the thin heel I plumped for early 1950s revival in the end.though I'm still not sure.
