Tod’s Women’s Spring/Summer 2026 Celebrates Italian Craftsmanship

Tod’s has presented its Spring/Summer 2026 women’s collection, a showcase of artisanal mastery and Italian style under the creative direction of Matteo Tamburini. 

At its centre is the Gommino, the brand’s iconic loafer, which serves as the unifying thread of the collection. Its signature elements are reinterpreted through metallic details on shoes and bags, as well as decorative perforations applied to both clothing and accessories.

The new season open-toe Gommino loafer

Leather, Tod’s defining material, is handled with precision using refined techniques such as inlays, perforations and hand-stitched seams. Every stage of production, from the selection of hides to assembly, reflects the traditions of Italian craftsmanship, now approached with a modern sensibility. The result is clothing and accessories that highlight both material softness and attention to detail.

The Di Bag Folio and its deconstructed silhouette

Tamburini’s designs emphasise drape and movement, with garments created to sit lightly on the body. A warm palette of natural tones defines the season, with burnt hues and saffron yellow providing distinctive accents. Key pieces include a soft Pashmy caban, a perforated nappa jacket, and a cotton trench with inserts that reveal sartorial workmanship. Stripes, a recurring summer motif, appear as leather appliqué, the result of expert handcraft applied to lightweight fabrics.

The T Timeless bag’s new top-handle design

The Gommino itself is adapted for summer, presented in its classic closed form and also in an open-toe version. Both feature perforations that echo the loafer’s iconic sole, while other models are distinguished by hand-worked multicoloured leather threading.

The Wave Bag and its contrast stitching

Tod’s handbags further illustrate the brand’s dedication to artisanal excellence. The Di Bag Folio, with a deconstructed silhouette, is available as a roomy tote or in a layered version, finished with intricate inlays. The T Timeless bag appears in a new top-handle design, featuring continuous perforations that create a refined graphic effect. The Wave Bag continues Tod’s exploration of luxury leather codes, its contrasting stitching highlighting the precision of its construction.

By combining heritage craftsmanship with modern design cues, Tod’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection maintains the brand’s distinctive identity while evolving its icons. The Gommino remains central, not only as a shoe but as a design language extended across clothing and accessories, leaving its mark on the season.
