The First Bag to Score 5 Across the Board | Ferragamo Soft Hug
#ad After spending over $100,000 of my own money reviewing luxury leather goods, this is the first time a major luxury house offered to send me something for an honest review. Bold move… but did it pay off?
The Soft Hug Bag is one of Ferragamo’s most talked-about designs right now — soft silhouette, standout structure, luxury feel. But does it live up to the hype once you cut past the glamor and get down to the leather, craftsmanship, and cost?
Is this Ferragamo's best leather bag yet — or just another overpriced name tag?
Watch until the end to find out. You might be surprised by the result.
