Tod’s is basically the Italian version of Hermes, minus the horsiness. Both lines have an extremely loyal following of upper crust customers, both produce timeless luxury classics, and both are almost completely inaccessible, economically, to anyone who isn’t actually old money.
This white leather Helmut Zip Tote Media bag is about the most contemporary piece I’ve seen by Tod’s. Not that their stuff looks dated, but this looks almost futuristic. For me, it’s only the thick, shapely handle attachments that give away this bag’s old school ilk.
The square design is modern and sleek, and the zippers all over the place make it look almost edgy, but not quite, the white leather keeps it classy. And all those zippers aren’t for show anyways, this handbag is an organizational marvel. It has two interior gusseted compartments with full zip closures, interior and exterior zipper pockets, an interior patch pocket, and another for your cell phone. Which makes this bag about ideal for anyone who feels the need to compartmentalize.
The texture of the leather is smooth, and the sleek look of the bag is set off by the polished silver hardware, and intricate stitch details. The rolled leather handles are sturdy and made to last. In fact, the whole bag is of such superior quality that $1,925 doesn’t really seem an inordinate price to pay for it. Even those of us who aren’t blue bloods might consider it as an investment piece.
