MANILA, Philippines - The hushed tones and sophisticated ambience reflect the refined luxury of the feminine woman. This season’s designs put emphasis on the classics and values that have always defined Tod’s products: impeccable quality, craftsmanship and functionality. Stylish and functional coats complement a cosmopolitan style. Its flexible silhouette gives each woman a new statement. And the casual is made more chic with quilted nylon jackets that is brought to the spotlight with its striking colors.
Tradition, understated elegance and fine quality remain at the core of fine leather bags with brass shoulder belts of flat sculptured rings recalling an art deco era. This same inspiration is found in clutches of suede, fur or python, embellished with knitted brass detail. An evolution then takes place underscoring the D Bag. Being Tod’s essential DNA, the D Bag remains to be an iconic piece par excellence. The new unstructured case and shopping tote versions complete the range of designs.
The timeless Winter Gommino design has always been significant in shaping the history of the brand. And this Autumn/Winter season reveals a tantalizing selection of boots, pumps, ankle boots and moccasins for every occasion. The vibrant colors in pumps and moccasins then complement the rest of the pieces in muted hues, each noted by striking detail — an articulated fine wedge, a conical split high heel, a beaked toe cap or buckled laces to caress the ankle.
This season also welcomes the Limited Edition Gommino — a timeless classic that has become synonymous with Tod’s. It is available in exotic animal prints or with bi-tonal hand stitched appliqués. Suede mocassin masterpieces, imitating the patterns of various patterns of zebras’, tigers’ and giraffes’ coats truly make the Gommino one-of-a-kind.
With each passing season, Tod’s has remained to its true classic form. Its unforgettable pieces crafted to perfection stand as a sheer reflection of the traditional with a contemporary touch. And in celebration of timelessness, Tod’s continues to be an enduring icon that has become the ambassador of Italian style.
