Winter has a way of sharpening style. Layers become intentional, textures matter more, and elegance is defined as much by comfort as it is by silhouette.
Ferragamo captures that balance with Winter Escape, an exclusive selection of footwear, bags, and accessories that leans into the romance of winter—whether that means festive city evenings or a spontaneous escape to somewhere snow-dusted and serene.
Echoing the mood of the maison’s holiday collection, Winter Escape is rooted in sophistication that feels lived-in rather than ornamental. Think shearling softened by sculptural lines, heritage codes reimagined for cold weather, and pieces that transition seamlessly from polished urban moments to leisurely winter weekends.
For women, Ferragamo revisits its signature forms through a winter lens. A ballerina with a sinuous shape and sculpted neckline arrives wrapped in plush curly shearling, finished with a discreet Gancini buckle that grounds the softness with structure. A menswear-inspired loafer follows suit—lined with merino wool for warmth, edged with a Hug buckle, and imbued with a subtly edgy attitude that feels right at home in winter wardrobes.
Sportier moments find expression in a shearling mule with a rubber sole and oversized side Gancini buckle—proof that practicality doesn’t have to come at the expense of refinement. Meanwhile, the iconic Vara continues its evolution: the classic pump, rendered in red or black, returns in a special winter edition dressed in shearling fur, with a sculpted, leather-covered heel that underscores Ferragamo’s mastery of form. The Vara bow appears once more on the Varina flat, offered in polished red patent leather or timeless black leather—familiar, yet seasonally renewed.
Bags that balance warmth and polish
Accessories take on a tactile richness this season. The Hug bag, one of Ferragamo’s most recognizable silhouettes, returns enveloped in kid shearling in muted grey and clay tones, elevated with gold-toned buckles and a leather key charm. A spacious, deconstructed tote blends shearling with calfskin accents and a Gancini closure, striking a balance between relaxed ease and quiet luxury.
For evenings or pared-back days, a compact handbag with geometric lines and a shearling flap offers versatility: designed to be carried as a clutch or worn crossbody or on the shoulder via a removable strap. Completing the women’s offering are ribbed hand-warming mufflers, soft to the touch and finished with a suede Gancini label—small details that feel thoughtful rather than decorative.

A metropolitan mood for men
The men’s edit channels a distinctly urban sensibility. Sporty loafers crafted from hand-shaded, antiqued calfskin are anchored by a chunky lug sole—rugged yet refined, and assembled through multiple stages of handcrafted workmanship that highlight Ferragamo’s commitment to craft.
Bags follow a similar philosophy. A backpack inspired by trekking styles features dual exterior pockets, a Gancini closure, and an elastic drawstring opening to a neatly organized interior—functional without feeling utilitarian. Alongside it, a new messenger bag borrows the softly enveloping lines and satin-finish metal buckles associated with the Hug collection, translating Ferragamo’s design language into everyday movement.

Finishing the selection are deer leather gloves lined with cashmere, understated in design and luxurious in material—quiet essentials designed to last beyond the season.
At its core, Winter Escape is less about spectacle and more about atmosphere. It reflects Ferragamo’s enduring ability to reinterpret its icons without losing their soul, pairing Italian craftsmanship with seasonal sensitivity. It’s a collection designed not just to be worn, but to accompany moments—festive or fleeting—when winter calls for elegance that feels effortless.
