New Ferragamo workshop will ‘preserve heritage’
Italian footwear and leathergoods brand Salvatore Ferragamo has opened a workshop in Osmannoro, near Florence, that “promotes research into materials” and will enable master leather workers to pass expertise down to future generations, preserving the brand’s heritage and know-how.

New machines equipped with the most advanced technologies will also ensure utmost quality and efficiency in production processes, said the company.

“The new leathergoods atelier is a space for our artisans to cultivate their professional skills and passion for innovation and research, while upholding our long-standing values of tradition and craftsmanship,” said Eraldo Poletto, CEO of Salvatore Ferragamo Group. 

“Not only does this project celebrate Ferragamo’s leather crafting know-how, but it will also provide additional opportunities for the development of new products, as it enables us to test innovative materials and improve the quality and efficiency of various development processes.”

The group is also constructing a logistics hub with automated warehousing, slated for completion next year.
