Tod's luxury footwear and accessories

Tod's is an iconic Italian luxury fashion house best known for its high-quality footwear, specifically the legendary 'Gommino' driving shoe. The brand’s roots date back to the early 1900s when Filippo Della Valle founded an artisanal shoe workshop in the Marche region of Italy. In the late 1970s, his grandson Diego Della Valle transformed the small family business into a global powerhouse by focusing on premium materials and traditional Italian craftsmanship.

Today, Tod's maintains a strong commitment to its heritage, with the vast majority of its production occurring in its own factories located in Italian regions like Marche, Abruzzo, and Puglia. While the brand is synonymous with the 'Made in Italy' label, certain secondary components or specific product lines may occasionally involve broader European supply chains.

In 2024, the company underwent a significant ownership shift through a privatization deal. The founding Della Valle family remains the majority owner and maintains strategic control of the brand. They are partnered with L Catterton, a private equity firm backed by the French luxury conglomerate LVMH. This partnership is designed to foster long-term growth and digital expansion for the group while preserving its artisanal roots.
