TOD’S S.p.A. is an Italian luxury goods company best known for its handcrafted leather footwear, handbags and accessories. The company combines traditional artisanal techniques with contemporary design, offering a range of products that include driving shoes, high-end boots, leather belts and small leather goods. TOD’S operates through a network of directly managed boutiques, wholesale partners and an e-commerce platform, positioning itself at the premium end of the global fashion market.
The brand’s origins trace back to the early 20th century when Filippo Della Valle opened a small shoe atelier in Sant’Elpidio a Mare, Italy. Under the stewardship of his son Achille Della Valle and later his grandson Diego Della Valle, the company adopted the TOD’S name in the late 1970s and expanded its product line beyond footwear. Over the years, TOD’S has become synonymous with impeccable quality and understated elegance, earning a reputation for the iconic “gommino” driving shoe and meticulously crafted saddle-stitch detailing.
TOD’S has a significant international presence, with flagship stores in major fashion capitals such as Milan, Paris, New York, Tokyo and Shanghai, alongside a growing network in Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region. The company maintains production facilities in Italy to ensure close oversight of quality and craftsmanship. Under the leadership of the Della Valle family, with Diego Della Valle serving as Chairman, TOD’S continues to emphasize its heritage of artisanal excellence while pursuing selective expansion in key luxury markets.
