Tod's New Eight Due Manici Media

Have you seen the 7-minute Tod's commercial starring Gwyneth Paltrow and the Tod's Pashmy bag? Do not get me wrong, I know that Gwyneth is a hollywood A-lister and that Tod's is also a force to be reckon with in the luxury handbag industry but getting Dennis Hopper to make a 7-minute commercial that revolves around one bag (which is nice but not in any way ground-breaking) is too much of marketing. Tod's has always been known as the maker of excellent quality shoes and understated but luxurious leather goods like Hermes, Ferragamo, Loewe and Bottega Veneta and i hope they could keep focusing on that attribute rather than on over-the-top marketing campaigns to push the brand . Usher in the New Eight Due Manici Media in full leather (left)! This bag is not exactly new by now but it is gorgeous, understated and practical. Down from USD1,750 to just USD700 in eluxury.com, this bag is a must-have expecially in this soft grained leather version. The bag is also available in intricately woven, coated canvas version with patent leather trim (right) for slightly cheaper USD660 but the kick is not as strong as the full leather version.
