Tod’s known craftsmanship and “Made in Italy” ethos are part of the brand’s core values that have made it a household name in fashion. For the Autumn/Winter 2024 season, it’s taking a step further with the Pashmy project. The goal with the Pashmy project is for Tod’s to be a conduit for Italian excellence in terms of material and craftsmanship. The brand is putting in work to source and research for the most exclusive materials as well as the craftsmanship to turn them into unrivalled creations.

One of the earlier instalments of this is the Pashmy bomber jacket. Designed with linear lines, the Pashmy bomber is crafted from goatskin in a range of warm and cool tones and features a water-repellent and stain-resistant treatment. Most exquisitely, the jacket is lightweight and feels like pashmina—hence the name of the project.

The Pashmy project is merely an extension of the technical know-how of Tod’s, pushing the limits of its artisanship further. This is, after all, the same brand that introduced the Gommino to the world in 1979 and effectively changed the footwear game since; making quality products and devising new ways of craft aren’t completely new to Tod’s.

The main Autumn/Winter 2024 collection is testament to the longstanding pursuit of Italian excellence that the brand aims for. There is a more intent focus on ready-to-wear this time around as a studied use of luxurious materials evolves familiar menswear staples. Textural elements and considered detailing add both visual and sensorial interest. Knitwear in the collection showcases a variety of knitting techniques as well as the brand’s capability within the space. Leather jackets take on classic forms with a twist, crafted from stellar leather meant to age and last for years to come.

Pashmy project or not, there is little doubt that Tod’s will continue to uphold its skilled artisanship across every segment of the brand. But with a more committed project spearheading more material innovation, it only signals more exciting things to come in the ready-to-wear portion for a brand already beloved for its footwear.
