We spend months, sometimes years, tracking down those pieces that will last forever in our wardrobes.
The pair of jeans that fit perfectly, the wear-with-anything white shirt, the classic sneakers for the perfectly lowkey look: they’re the makings of a capsule wardrobe that will last us through any season or trend.
And there’s one accessory that makes it into the mix: a black bag capable of holding all of our essentials, while still remaining sophisticated and stylish.
The piece ticking all of our boxes? The Ferragamo Maxi Gancio Tote Bag.
Here’s why it’s on our wardrobe wish list right now.
Understated Sophistication
An everyday essential for carrying your, well, everyday essentials, no wardrobe is complete without a black bag.
A hero of your accessory collection, the Ferragamo Maxi Gancio Tote Bag is designed to be understated and versatile enough to wear with anything, but with contemporary touches that help it stand out in a crowd.
The key lies in the details: the soft, black calf leather has a natural grainy texture, with a suede-lined interior. The hero of the design is the brand’s signature Gancio logo, positioned boldly on the front in an antique golden hue.
First added to Ferragamo bags in the 1970s, the Gancio metal accessory has become one of the brand’s hallmarks. While the origins of the design are unknown (legend says it’s inspired by the wrought-iron gate of medieval Palazzo Spini Feroni), the clasp has become a symbol of the balance between style and function.
Always On Trend
While we love a trend-based piece, there’s something to be said for those staples that stay with us for years.
Handbag shapes and designs can be as trend-based as hemlines, but the classic tote has remained a mainstay of the fashion elite for decades.
Beloved by Jackie Onassis in the 1960s and a key part of the headline-grabbing hobo-inspired looks of the Olsen twins in the early noughties, the tote bag now proudly hangs off the arms of the next generation of supermodels, like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner.
There’s a reason why the maxi tote remains as popular as ever: spacious and functional, it’s our companion for days on the go, fitting our must-haves for days in the office, followed by afternoon shopping trips and dinner with friends.
