Luxury-meets-sport aesthetic has met the Bravern. Tod’s label has prospered since its inception in 1920 and just opened in downtown Bellevue.
Tod’s is the story of three generations of style and good taste, beginning in early 1900 as a small shoe factory started by Diego Della Valle’s grandfather, Filippo, in Casette D’Ete (Ascoli Piceno). In the 1970s, Diego Della Valle expanded his family’s business and retained the handmade manufacturing process—producing high-quality shoes and leather goods with styles that have become icons of modern living.
Tod’s first received worldwide acclaim in late 1970 with the creation of the I’Gommini” driving shoe, identified by 133 pebbles on the sole.
The introduction of the Tod’s handbag collection in 1997, reflected the spirit, quality and design of the Tod’s shoe collection and built the brand into what is now known as one of the most successful companies in the world of luxury accessories.
Tod’s products are entirely handcrafted in Italy with highly skilled techniques—a peculiarity that distinguishes the brand and attracts customers who appreciate true Italian craftsmanship. Check it out.

About time, Tods make the best loafer you can get.
I finally made it into the new Tod’s store yesterday . Not only is the store a gorgeous addition, but the collection is extensive and the sales staff very helpful. Phyllis showed me shoes that I would have never tried on that fit perfectly . Both she and Derek truly care about customer service and finding the right shoe for both fit and looks . It is wonderful to finally have a shoe store available that accommodates the wet weather needs in our area. No high heels for this lady when it rains !
