MFW: Tod’s is LOVE *SS 2012*


Woohoo! It’s officially October in Asia as this post is published! What better way to start the month than to write about bags again? 🙂

If you’ve been reading this blog, you’d have already known about my love for the Tod’s bag collection– in particular, the Tod’s D bag. My Tod’s signature orange bag has been with me on several trips and it’s doing incredibly well and aging quite nicely. I decided against cleaning her up, allowing her to age and acquire that patina naturally. And I am loving the bag more and more with each day that I use her.

Today, wearing cobalt blue with the Tod’s D bag
Anyway, the Tod’s team really knows how to pick a place for their Spring/Summer 2012 presentation– it was again held at Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milano *Villa Necchi was used for the film “I am Love, which starred Tilda Swinton, among other more important historical facts of the villa*. The romance of this villa set the tone for the Spring Summer 2012 collection.
We saw a lot of color! And I am really liking it so much! (Can you tell yet that I really love color?)
How can you not fall in LOOOVE with this lagoon- colored crocodile D bag???? 
The softest, most supple, and almost suede- like texture of this croc D bag is fantastic!!!

In purple!

this is really the softest crocodile bag I’ve ever touched, seriously

Shocking colors in python– bright yellow and hot pink. Oh ladies, you will want this bag just as I do once you see either in person!

A new crocodile bag. This is so luxurious. I love the structure of the bag, it gives it that formal edge, and how very considerate to add that detachable shoulder strap!

Hello there, another bag in that beautiful lagoon blue color. Major plus factor: the bag’s in python!

 This is a bag I can’t wait to get. It’s compact without being too small for your things, and the colors on this are beautiful. PS you can’t go wrong with python! 

A new Tod’s tote in python. The fringes that run down the center make for a fun and flirty tote 🙂

Concept D Bags: These bags are not in production for retail consumption. These are the “one- offs” which could serve as inspiration for future designs. I’m loving the colors of this one– I think this would make a fantastic bag for a fashion editorial! 

Especially loving this one! It’ll be a tad heavy with the chains, but for a bag this embellished? I would still want to carry it! It’s really beyond amazing!!

And these are the best shoes, detail- wise *and comfort- wise too of course*
very tight beads that somehow remind me of python skin. Doesn’t it? 🙂 

Woven threads on the ballerina flats

This shoe looks even better up close! I like these because they don’t have that average ballerina flat look

Bead-dazzled!

Now THIS I love! I am reminded of those very ornate brocade-beaded loafers for lounging around wherever! 🙂  This is the all- purpose shoe… for all seasons!! 
I am still on a visual high each time I review these photos I took from the Tod’s presentation in Milano. And now I’m glad I am able to share these with you. Do you have a favorite yet? 🙂 
The Tod’s D bags and other merchandise will be available come Spring/ Summer next year. Start saving up for one– I promise you, it’s really worth the price!! The brand never compromises when it comes to quality and this is definitely an investment piece worth having!!
