Italian Luxury shoes - Where Do They Come From?

Tod’s is the company founded by Della Valle, the king of local shoemakers. His factory is one of the largest luxury shoes plants in the world and this is where the popularity of Agnelli’s driving mocs began.

Della Valle’s grandfather was a cobbler and his father began a small shoe factory that still employs many sons and daughters of people who worked for Dorino, Della Valle’s father.

The design of Tod’s shoes is classic and clean, it keeps reassuringly away from extremes. The objective is to give a traditional, solid product with a modern design. Tod’s leather goods remind of Ralph Lauren’s style, classic and easy going.

All the phases of production are closely supervised from the choice of leather throughout the working process to ensure the excellence of the final product.

During the 1970 Della Valle made a custom driving moc for Gianni Agnelli, who was the main shareholder of Fiat, a leading Italian industrialist and a trendsetter.

Soon his driving shoes became famous and Della Valle shoes gained the Italian and International public favor. Tod’s shoes keep their popularity thanks to their excellent craftsmanship and materials, their unsurpassed comfort and captivating design.
