About Tod's
Tod's is an Italian brand with a long tradition in leather craftsmanship, founded in the early 1920s by Filippo Della Valle as an artisanal shoemaking workshop. In its first decades, the company produced small batches, by hand and locally.
Under the leadership of grandson Diego, production expanded to larger volumes, destined for American department stores such as Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue. In 1987, Tod's introduced the Gommino, a loafer with a thin, flexible leather body and a rubber sole that extends into the heel, originally designed for driving. This model has since become a recognisable reference point for the brand.
Besides the Gommino, the collection also includes loafers, boots, and sneakers, all featuring the same leather craftsmanship.
