Tod’s

Tod’s is an Italian luxury goods company, founded by Filippo Della Valle in 1920, when he was originally making shoes out of his basement. In the 1970’s, the grandson of Filippo, Diego Della Valle, expanded the business, creating a factory for the production of shoes for American stores. Success after success, the company is now famed for its hand-made leather goods, and under Walter Chiapponi as Creative Director, Tod’s is classic yet contemporary.
