Gianfranco FerrŽ was known as a unique fashion designer having been known for his architectural background in his education. Replacing head designer Marc Bohan in 1989, Mr. FerrŽ was artistic director for the House of Dior until the Spring of 1997, where he was replaced by John Galliano.

Longchamps in excellent condition with almost no wear throughout except for a hard to notice small pink mark on the toile canvas near closure; can be probably drycleaned, otherwise basically as new. The Gianfranco FerrŽ in good overall condition appearing to have been barely used, there is slight separation to patent leather at shoulder station, somewhat hard to notice transfer marks to the patent leather on the front right corner of the bag and a noticeable transfer mark on the back corner of the bag, but this is not seen when properly carried.
