Tod’s Women’s Fall–Winter 26/27 show unfolds within a setting that celebrates the richness of Italian artisanal tradition, paying tribute to excellence through a collective performance where craftsmanship takes center stage. Alongside Tod’s artisans, masters from different disciplines work live, offering a powerful demonstration of the savoir-faire that defines the essence of Made in Italy. Through this dialogue between crafts, Tod’s reaffirms its core values and its distinctive Artisanal Intelligence — a heritage built over time, grounded in quality, expertise, and an uncompromising attention to detail.

This same vision informs the new collection, conceived by Creative Director Matteo Tamburini. The wardrobe imagined for the upcoming Fall–Winter season places artisanal know-how and the exceptional quality of materials at its core, the result of meticulous research and careful selection. Leather emerges as the undisputed protagonist, embodying the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Saddle-inspired constructions, precise stitching, and hand-finished details meet lightweight textures and rich material depth.

Within the ready-to-wear offering, generous, enveloping volumes contrast with more fitted silhouettes, defined by cropped sleeves and accentuated waists. Wardrobe icons such as the trench and peacoat are reinterpreted through a refined sartorial lens, while a quilted bomber jacket in soft antiqued calfskin introduces a contemporary edge. The narrative concludes with foulard dresses presented in graphic patchwork compositions. The color palette moves through rich natural tones — burnt caramel, ginger, and chocolate — punctuated by striking black and white accents.

Pashmy represents the pinnacle of Tod’s leather selection: an exclusive material, exceptionally lightweight and silky to the touch, achieved through a meticulous process that enhances its softness and chromatic depth. Featured in outerwear, skirts, and trousers, Pashmy embodies the brand’s artisanal excellence, merging material refinement with everyday functionality.

In footwear, the iconic Tod’s loafer is reimagined with a rounded toe, offered in supple leather or pony hair, both smooth and animal-patterned, reaffirming its timeless elegance. The ankle boot, distinguished by a strap inspired by the equestrian world, expresses a bold yet refined character. Meanwhile, the Gommino Sneaker, crafted in ultra-flexible suede and premium materials, reflects Tod’s signature balance between innovation and tradition. Tod’s handbags represent the highest expression of artisanal excellence through three timeless iconic models. The Wave Bag is enriched with saddle stitching, the T Timeless Bag appears in soft nappa, aged calfskin, and pony hair, while the Di Bag returns in a new bauletto version, embodying a perfect harmony between functionality and formal sophistication.

The iconic Gommino detail — a defining code of the brand — is reinterpreted as metallic accents that run throughout the accessories collection, from footwear to the Gommino Bag. Lettering emerges as the thread connecting the entire collection: delicate metal letters adorn slim belts that cinch trenches and jackets, allowing the wearer to compose their own initials. An intimate gesture that reimagines traditional monogramming, transforming personalization into a contemporary expression of true handmade craftsmanship.
