Trendy bags come and go, and there’s beauty in that, but the best kind of bags are those that transcend generations. These are the ones you covet from your mother’s and grandmother’s closets and dream to make your own one day. Or maybe they just look like it came from their closets. It’s all about the spirit of timelessness.
For Rose Gilroy, fresh-faced model and daughter of Renee Russo, that covetable piece is the Sofia bag from Salvatore Ferragamo. She’s the campaign’s muse, showcasing a perfectly scaled satchel that begs to be worn…and worn. There’s something about a well-loved bag with leather scratched and slick with oils from years of use. It’s structured yet soft, projecting the ideal kind of vintage slouch. At once modern and classic, this is one of my favorite shapes the house. And it will be for a long time.
The medium Sofia is available in brown or black at Salvatore Ferragamo for $1,990.
