The Tod's timeless signature shoe, the Gommino, was born in the late 1970s. With its trademark 133 rubber pebbles, the luxury moccasin encapsulates the men's footwear ideal – a casual, handmade shoe perfect for every occasion

The Tod’s story began in the late 1970s, when Diego Della Valle launched the signature shoe: the Gommino. With its trademark 133 rubber pebbles, this luxury moccasin encapsulated the footwear ideal – a casual, handmade shoe perfect for every occasion – and is still a cult classic today. Della Valle soon expanded his vision to luxury bags and the brand has since become a byword for expert craftsmanship and timeless style.
