The iconic products of luxury goods brand Tod's
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
Today over 100 steps are involved in the building of the Gommino, from the cutting of the pieces that form its basic structure, to the sewing together of all individual parts
The entire process is done by hand in the brand's Italian factories in Casette D'Ete in the Marche region
The Marlin Hyannisport is a younger Tod's icon - the ultimate boat shoe for men
The Marlin Hyannisport is fitted with a rubber sole for maximum flexibility
The Ballerina shoe for women comes in calf leather with a tonal toe in metallic leather, embellished with a micro-buckle accessory
The Ballerina also comes in soft suede with tonal metal-tipped ties
Tod's introduced a collection of classic bags in 1997. The now cult D Bag is crafted with the brand's characteristic attention to detail
The 'heels' at each angle of the D Bag mimic those of the Tod's Gommino
