These JP Tod’s Sartorial shoes are available in 5 styles: oxfords in ornate and smooth leather, buckled derbies, boots, and moccasins. What sets this line apart is that it’s fatte a mano. Indeed, the art of the shoe is brought to new heights with this project. An exclusive, old-style working of patina on different skins leads these shoes to a hypnotizing depth and brilliance. The techniques used are specifically those of Tod’s artisans who pass down their skills, from brushing to polishing, from generation to generation. The brand’s unique heritage consists of imbuing leather with ink multiple times to achieve the right color. A 24 hour drying period is required for each ink session. Each shoe gets a vintage inspired patina and a sewn rapido blake. These shoes were made the old way, in the pure tradition of this Italian manufacturer.
For the gents, Tod’s is imagining four different colors that, from black to chocolate, bordeaux to English green, are worked on both crocodile and standard leather. To highlight their artisanal aspects and mark the unique character of the JP Tod’s Sartorial collection with an honorary insignia, each shoe is graced with the historic JP Tod’s logo. You can even inscribe your initials on the shoe. This collection will be distributed in four boutiques throughout the world: Milan, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo; each pair delivered in a box set specially made for this big premiere.
