Le Marche & Fashion

For Spring Summer 2013 there is a new addition to the family of Tod's bags:  the Double Stripe Collection for men, a range in soft calfskin leather designed for all types of usage: from daytime to night time, from professional to recreational and from office and business travel to weekends away for pleasure.
The name derives from the double leather stripe that decorates each piece.
The Double Stripe Collection typifies Tod's philosophy of combining modern design excellence with traditional quality and handmade manufacturing techniques. It bears all the hallmarks of Made in Italy, while being made for men of the world.

To celebrate the launch of its new D.D. Bag, and to highlight the special artisanal skills and craftsmanship involved in its construction, Tod's is pleased to announce the release of a 3D video that brings the story of this remarkable new bag to life.
Based around the flight of a group of butterflies, symbols of profound metamorphosis, conceived by the Italian artist Mauro Seresini, the film charts the journey of these delicate insects as they visit Italy's most famous landmarks. In Venice, Tuscany, Capri and Rome's Piazza di Spagna and Pantheon they collect golden tools with which they will eventually assemble a beautiful D.D. Bag.
It's a dreamy and romantic fantasy designed to express the artistry of Made in Italy that lies at the heart of Tod's leatherwork.

Two friends, on an autumn day, discover Torino and its hidden places. Climb onto the recently restored antique Italian trains at the Piedmont Railway Museum, photograph the most beautiful sights and stroll along the Murazzi, attend the Opera at the Teatro Carignano, listen to the DJ spin tunes at the historic "Giancarlo" club; a Torino that surprises and fascinates, brightened by the metallic reflections and impeccable elegance of Tod's tassel loafers and the new shoulder bags with jewel-like turn lock."

The new Tod’s Miky Bag is presented this season with an entirely innovative design, whose versatility and elegance are revealed in an exclusive digital video that can be viewed on www.youtube.com/tods and on www.tods.com website.

The Miky Bag is one of Tod’s iconics which completes the traditional world of totes with the unmistakable craftsmanship Tod’s is known for.

The new collection of Tod’s Miky Bag for Autumn-Winter 2012/13 is presented in 4 sizes and different materials such as calf leather, crocodile and python. Today as in the past, Tod’s Miky Bag is already a must have for many celebrities such as Jessica Alba and Amy Watson

Iconic Italian luxury label Tod’s may be best associated with those classic loafers, but their handbags are nothing to sneeze at. The silhouettes stand the test of time, as does the quality craftsmanship for these gorgeous pieces. Women like to think of purchases from a brand like Tod’s as an investment, something they’d love to carry now and then pass down to their future daughter.

There was the distinct impression that the designers at Tod’s, the luxury footwear label, have been paying attention to recent trends in footwear. At the company’s spring presentation, which was held at an opulent 1930s mansion that is now a museum, a display of loafers came with surprisingly colorful soles, including versions in yellow, burnt orange and green, reflecting a recent trend in men’s shoes.

Other options included desert boots in pastel suede and the flat streamlined slippers favored by Italian editors over the last year. (While the popular look around the shoes has been a leopard print slipper, also worn by men, the Tod’s version was shown with cabana stripes.) The company also has a new collection that it is describing as couture, which includes some wild takes on its signature driving shoes and handbags, now covered in more beaded rocks than pebbles.

An important brand, a dynamic business, a great family. In a word – Tod's.

To Tod’s the quality of the products has the absolute priority and is keen on showing the world the competitive edge of the brand; for this reason it has invited the representatives of Vogue Italia, Vogue Russia, Vogue Spain and Vogue Germany to a two-day stay in Sant' Elpidio a Mare, a town in the province of Fermo in the Marche region, taking them on a visit through the impressive historic structure where all of Tod’s, Hogan, Fay and Roger Vivier products come to life.

Tucked in a green area in the industrial area of Brancadoro, the company’s buildings of the creator of the iconic gommino rubber dotted sole, Diego Della Valle, offer everybody not only a working space but also the cosy atmosphere of a home.

Spacious and well lit, the building welcomes staff and visiting guests to an area enriched with numerous works of contemporary art inspired by the brand’s aesthetics and the structure of its products, all of which were specifically commissioned and are much loved by the owner.

Every detail of this fantastic place conveys the attention for details that characterizes Tod’s as a brand and its products; indeed, each department of the company, starting from the fashion office as well as the pattern making, prototype and production departments all live up to the reputation that the company has built for itself through the years.

Visiting the leather quality control department within production is a speechless experience; equally incredible was getting to know Tony, the trustworthy partner and old-time friend to Mr. Della Valle who has been working for the company for years and knows every single material being used to create a Tod’s product inside out and with passion in his voice says “you always learn something new”.

Made in Italy manufacturing and the concept itself are very dear to Tod’s, in fact the strength of the company is being able to rely on the expertise of true artisan masters who turn out handmade products that are, nowadays, the real luxury.

Della Valle personally oversees all production processes and follows through any new concept being elaborated so as to develop the company to the best of its potential. Recently, within the firm buildings a new area has been created fitted with photos, videos and everything related to the collections and the advertising campaigns created by Tod’s brand through the years.

The elegant atmosphere of a café inspired in its design by Italian modernism acts as the backdrop of the new Tod’s Autumn Winter 2012-2013 campaign.

The unmistakable elegance that is the Tod’s man, unique and versatile, accentuates the new collection for the following season, in which the highest of quality and precious materials signifies added value in the steadfast choice to favor style and modernity

Welcome to the humble abode of Elsa Schiaparelli, the legendary designer whose Paris fashion house, as you may recall, is in the process of a major revitalization at the nimble hands of Tod’s CEO Diego Della Valle.
While the house has yet to name a creative director, the Times introduced us to the label’s new “face and organizer” Farida Khelfa back in May, and now here she is, ushering you into the eclectic Place Vendôme interior of the hallowed halls where Schiap once showed pieces like lobster dresses and lamb-cutlet hats to the delight/bewilderment of visiting editors.
The apartment has now been restored and redecorated by Vincent Darré, and now we have our first peek inside. A taste of the covetable décor: gilded mirrors formerly belonging to Yves Saint Laurent (a Christie’s score perhaps?), busts by Schiap’s frequent collaborator Salvador Dalí, and a Fernand Léger rug, clearly housed in another room than the one pictured.
Oh, and see that ‘Shocking’ pink couch? We want it. Please.

Tod's elegant iconic Gommino loafer in suede, the guaranteed way to be smart.
