Automobili Lamborghini and Tod’s partnered to create a collection of luxury leather goods, shoes, apparel and accessories. The Italian brands’ exclusive collaboration celebrates Italian craftmanship and tradition as well as technological research and innovation.
Tod’s was founded at the beginning of last century by a passionate and visionary artisan. About 50 years after, Ferruccio Lamborghini made his dream come true and founded a company moved by the same passion and vision, with a relentless commitment to research and innovation. We are proud of this collaboration that sports an undisputed Italian touch. – Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini
Filippo Della Valle established the shoemaking business out of a basement in the late 1920s. His grandson, Diego Della Valle, expanded the workshop and turned it into a factory that specialized in manufacturing shoes for American department stores in the 1970s. Mr. Della Valle says he became interested in the retailer on his first visit to the United States as a youth, when he stopped in at a Saks Fifth Avenue store, to which his father used to sell shoes. He brought in innovative marketing strategies in the early 1980s, kept the handmade manufacturing process and created brands of lifestyle named Tod’s, Hogan and Fay. The Della Valle family has stakes in RCS MediaGroup, the football team Fiorentina and other companies.
Lamborghini represents the highest expression of design and technical integrity in the automotive industry. The attention to detail, the constant research and innovation are key values for both brands, and truly represent Italian style. – Diego della Valle, President and CEO of Tod’s Group
