Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo Patent Flap Crossbody Bag Gancini Black c. Late 1980s

The gold-tone Gancini clasp with its signature ring detail anchors the front flap, set against a high-gloss black patent leather body with crisp, angular lines. The adjustable shoulder strap allows for hands-free crossbody wear, making it equally at home on any wardrobe. Inside, a white leather lining reveals a single slip pocket—every edge clean, the construction taut.

This piece dates to the late 1980s–early 1990s, a period when Ferragamo’s family workshop in Florence was refining the Gancini hardware that would become its global signature. The original script-logo dust bag is included. Exterior shows light scratching to the patent finish; interior remains bright and well-kept.
