Tod's New Signature Collection
Courtesy of Tod's
Italian leather purveyor Tod's is making a foray into a decidedly sassier market with its new Signature collection of jewel-toned bags, which pay homage to the brand's pebble-bottomed driving shoes. To create the gommino pattern on the bags, the leather is imprinted using a high-pressure iron; it's then mapped, stitched and quilted to create a textured feel along the surface. From the oversized electric blue carryall tote to the pocket-sized fuchsia zip-up wallet, the utilitarian Signature pieces are designed to dance toe-to-toe with Tod's bold colored dresses and mod cinched-waist coats this fall. From $595; available in Tod's boutiques worldwide; tods.com.
