Salvatore Ferragamo is not one of my go-to brands (then again, no brands on Ferragamo's level are a go-to for me since I don't have money like that). However, I'm a fan of their ties - I love how at first glance they look like normal ties with a typical patten but as you look closer it gives way to something different. Whenever I make my way up to Woodbury Common I usually stop in here since they're sold at a discounted price vs. the retail stores. The ties are great, but shoes are the real backbone of the company. I have a party coming up, and since I could always use a new pair of shoes, I figured I would have a look at their selection during my latest Woodbury excursion.
This Ferragamo store is large - merchandise is separated down the center with men's clothing on one side and women's clothing on the other; I made my way to the shoes to start browsing. It's always a gamble in the outlets because stock can be iffy and there are so many people shopping it's hard to get the attention of an associate; luckily, I did not have to wait long for someone to ask if I needed help. The first pair I was looking at wasn't in stock in my size, but the second one I chose was - after giving them a test run and a quick glance at the ties (you know, just in case), I made my way to checkout.
Service was great, the same person who was helping me with the shoes was the one who rung me out - he was friendly and made the transaction seamless. Overall, I had a very smooth experience at Ferragamo. Staff was friendly, and I was able to snag a pair of shoes at the right price. While I'm not sure when I will be making another purchase from here, they will definitely be in my rotation of spots to browse whenever I'm at Woodbury Common. read more
