Plant Shoe Factory in Boston, Massachusetts, before moving to Santa Barbara, California, to join his brothers. He opened the Hollywood Boot Shop in 1923 and made shoes for movie stars, such as Joan Crawford and Gloria Swanson, as well as for films, such as Cecil B. DeMille's feature film The Ten Commandments. Following his success in California, Ferragamo returned to Florence, Italy, in 1927 to incorporate his eponymous label and open a factory to produce his shoes, due to a lack of artisan shoemakers in the U.S. His factory combined the city's artisanal techniques with the efficient production system of American factories, which became a training ground for apprentices. 22_01.1678/.05-
