Tod's Italian Winter capsule presents a limited-edition series created in collaboration with the Franz Kraler boutique in Cortina d'Ampezzo. The silhouettes in this collection embody the spirit of Italian après-ski through a focus on craftsmanship, exceptional materials, and shared conviviality.
Tod's Italian Winter capsule features iconic pieces reimagined for the season, including the Winter Gommino ankle boot with shearling lining, shearling-accented T Timeless bags, and down jackets for both men and women. Premium materials like cashmere blends and the brand's exclusive Pashmy leather are present throughout. A dedicated patch that celebrates the Dolomites unifies the garments in the collection.
By anchoring the collection in the prestigious setting of Cortina and collaborating with a historic Franz Kraler boutique, Tod's creates a sense of authentic place and exclusivity.
