Tod's

Tod’s is an Italian luxury house specializing in leather footwear and accessories. Its aesthetic emphasizes understated elegance and traditional craftsmanship. The brand represents a lifestyle of casual refinement and artisanal quality, rooted in the Italian ethos of functional yet sophisticated design.

Fashion History

The company originated as a small shoemaking workshop founded by Filippo Della Valle in the early 1900s. In the late 1970s, Diego Della Valle expanded the business into a global brand. A pivotal moment occurred with the introduction of the Gommino, a pebble-soled driving shoe that became a cultural staple. This design bridged the gap between formal and casual footwear, solidifying the brand's role in the evolution of modern luxury leather goods.
