An icon of Made-in-Italy, Tod’s represents a lifestyle that marries timeless elegance with supreme quality. A lifestyle closely tied to the concept of Italian flair, good taste, and savoir vivre.
Synonymous around the globe for unmistakable elegance, understated, and refined style, over the years, Tod's has created true style icons of the Italian lifestyle through its footwear, ready-to-wear and leather goods collections. First and foremost, the Gommino shoe in its many guises, followed by the Di Bag and many others.
Every object is made following the meticulous techniques of fine Italian craftsmanship with a series of processes and controls that, every day, give life to exclusive products in a unique reinterpretation of contemporary elegance.
It all began in the late 1970s, with a driving shoe and an outsole that included 133 iconic rubber pebbles or “gommini.” In no time, the Gommini became the emblem of Tod's, catching the eyes of connoisseurs from around the world and representing a symbol for handicrafts. With utter care and attention, the Tod's craftsmen reinterpret this icon in a contemporary version that is deconstructed in its form but keeps its unmistakable gommini decorated sole.
The brand's most iconic bag, the Di Bag, introduced in 1997, was an immediate success thanks to its famous clientele. Princess Diana, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Kidman, and Princess Caroline of Monaco are only some of the celebrities who have worn this bag over the last few decades.
Boldly reinterpreted today and entirely handcrafted by our artisans, the Di Bag represents the perfect balance between traditional fine craftsmanship, experimentation, and creativity.
