Posted on February 16, 2014February 16, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

I must say it, the service staff at Ferragamo in Pavilion Mall are impeccable. I went to Ferragamo on the same day at KLCC and they were not as excellent as the staff at Pavilion. The consistency is amazing. And the evidence is.......click to learn what next.
