The Brand
About Ferragamo
Salvatore Ferragamo started out as a shoemaker. He made shoes for Hollywood films in the 1920s, then moved back to Italy and set up his workshop in Florence, where the house is still based. The brand was called Salvatore Ferragamo for decades and now goes by Ferragamo, so you'll see both names on labels, boxes and dust bags.
The details people search for are the Gancini, the curved hook used on belt buckles, bag clasps and shoes, and the Vara bow, the grosgrain bow with a metal plate on the Vara pump and the Vara bow bags. Reversible Gancini belts are a staple men's accessory, and Ferragamo loafers, drivers and printed silk ties sell all year.
If you have Ferragamo sitting in a closet, whether it's a belt, a handbag, a pair of shoes or a stack of ties, we buy it for cash at our East Village shop. We look at each piece in front of you and tell you what decides the number.
What We Buy
Belts, Bags, Shoes and Silk
Ferragamo makes far more than shoes. These are the pieces we see most at the counter.
Gancini Belts
Reversible and adjustable belts with the Gancini buckle, in black, brown and two-tone leather. We check the leather at the holes and the plating on the buckle. Belts with the box and dust bag bring more.
Studio, Boxyz, Hug & Vara Bow Bags
Top-handle and shoulder bags with the Gancini clasp, and the Vara bow bags. Structure, corners, handles and the lining decide the offer.
Vara Pumps, Loafers & Drivers
Women's Vara pumps and Varina flats with the bow, and men's Gancini loafers and drivers. We look at the soles, heels, the bow and the lining.
Silk Ties, Scarves & Wallets
Printed silk ties, silk scarves, Gancini wallets and card cases. Ties should be free of stains and pulls; wallets get checked at the corners and card slots.
Pricing
What Moves a Ferragamo Offer
Two Ferragamo belts can be far apart in value. Here is what decides it.
- The piece
- Bags and newer belts bring more than older shoes and ties. Current styles lead.
- Leather condition
- Scuffs, cracks at the belt holes, worn corners and stretched handles come off the offer.
- Hardware
- The Gancini buckle or clasp should be clean, with the plating intact and no deep scratches.
- Shoe wear
- Soles, heels and the inside lining show how much a pair was worn. Resoled shoes still sell.
- Size
- Common belt lengths and shoe sizes move faster. Very small or very large sizes take longer to sell.
- Box and extras
- The box, dust bag and receipt add to the number.

How We Check Ferragamo
Ferragamo belts are some of the most copied accessories out there. We look at the whole piece in front of you, not one detail.
- The Gancini buckle: shape, weight, finish and how it attaches
- Heat stamps and markings inside belts, bags and shoes
- Leather quality, edge paint and stitching
- Style tags and the inside lining
- Box, dust bag and receipt that match the piece
Get Ready
Before You Bring It In
Wipe the leather with a dry cloth and keep belts flat or rolled, not folded. Stuff bags so they hold their shape.
- Bring the box, dust bag and any receipts
- Bring both shoes in a pair, even if one is more worn
- Text photos first if you're bringing a big collection
- Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale
