He studied shoemaking for a year in Naples, then opened a small shop based in his parent’s home before emigrating to Boston in 1914. His brothers worked in a cowboy boot factory and After a short time working at the factory himself, Ferragamo convinced his brothers to move to California with him where they opened a boot shop in 1919. In 1927, Ferragamo returned to Italy, settling in Florence, where he won awards for his footwear design and started designing bags and silk scarves. In 1937, Salvatore Ferragamo released his first ready-to-wear clothing collection designed by Giovanna Gentile Ferragamo.
