This season of giving, when we think of gifting what comes to mind is something that’s lifestyle that marries timeless elegance with supreme quality. A fusion of fashion flair, good taste and savoir vivre (art of living).
Luxury brand Tods recently had a special event at their flagship store in Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center, Makati City to unveil their much anticipated Fall/Winter collection. Spotted attending the by invitation occasion were some of the country’s top and popular celebrities, fashion and lifestyle personalities and special guests.
On the shelves, the brand presented the most covetable bags and shoes of the season. Spotlighted are the Gomminos (loafers) — the main character in the footwear collection, presented in fine suede, soft nappa and hand-brushed leather by the brand’s artisans. Equally sharing the attention is the T Timeless bag collection which embodies the purest essence of Tod’s: the balance between timeless elegance, contemporary lifestyle, and the extraordinary power of craftsmanship. The collection’s signature, the iconic metal T, has become a hallmark of the brand’s most emblematic bags and shoes — season after season — standing as an enduring symbol of the brand’s heritage.
Christmas is around the corner and the art of giving is about to experience its annual all time high. It’s never the quantity but really the quality of what you give and the thought you put into it that matters.
