Tod's S.p.A. is an Italian fashion house specialized in footwear, apparel, and related accessories headquartered in Marche. It is majority controlled by businessman Diego Della Valle.
Founded in 1920 by Filippo Della Valle, a cobbler, it was commercialized by his grandson, Diego, who renamed it J.P. Tod's in 1978. They expanded across Europe and the U.S. during the 1970s, reaching mainstream distribution during the 1980s and 1990s. Tod's branding includes an oval nameplate and roaring lion, with signature brown and orange packaging. Its highest-selling products are pebble-sole “Gommino” driving shoes, leather (suede) loafers, boots, sneakers, and handbags.
Its use of private financing throughout the 1990s saw to its listing on the Borsa Italiana in 2000, at a valuation of €1.2 billion. In 2021 Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) raised its investment in the group from 3.2% to 10%. After an attempt to take the company private in 2022, Tod's Group entered into a privatization deal with private equity firm L Catterton in 2024.
