While some of us love logos and wear labels on the outside, there are some who are more understated and wear their labels on the inside.
Tod’s is that luxury label that appeals to that customer who appreciates high-quality accessories without going over the top.
Most Tod’s products look good even with the most casual attire, as seen on celebrities like Jessica Alba, who favors Tod’s ballerina flats, Kate Winslet with her Tod’s Sacca Hobo, Mandy Moore and the T-bag, Renee Zellweger and the Luna bag, and Patrick Dempsey with his nylon duffel bag.
Flora Lee, PR associate of Tod’s Hong Kong, was in town to preview Tod’s fall/winter ’08 offerings to the local media.
Top models Mia Ayesa and Isabel Roces wore pieces from the collection that will be available to countries with cold climates just to give us a feel of what the collection is all about.
This season it’s all about contrasting colors, geometric soft shapes and attention to detail.
For women, we liked the Lulu ankle-high boots with the hidden platform inside the shoe.
Tod’s timeless Pashmy bag — known for its technical fabric and zippered pockets — comes back in various forms, including a shopper suited for the organized woman.
We adore the Pashmy Mini Cuboto in gray and burgundy, and the Sacca Media Satchel in nylon gold.
For men, there’s the spacious travel bag that’s light as a feather, as well as the Patta Messenger in black nylon.
Those who like man-bags will appreciate the Signature Shopper in black leather.
As for me, I like the men’s trainer called Nuovo Sportivo Allacciato sport shoes in black patent.
These are only a few of the items we previewed at Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center, Makati. For more information call 757-6292.
