Woohoo! It's officially October in Asia as this post is published! What better way to start the month than to write about bags again? :)
If you've been reading this blog, you'd have already known about my love for the Tod's bag collection-- in particular, the Tod's D bag. My Tod's signature orange bag has been with me on several trips and it's doing incredibly well and aging quite nicely. I decided against cleaning her up, allowing her to age and acquire that patina naturally. And I am loving the bag more and more with each day that I use her.

Anyway, the Tod's team really knows how to pick a place for their Spring/Summer 2012 presentation-- it was again held at Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milano *Villa Necchi was used for the film "I am Love, which starred Tilda Swinton, among other more important historical facts of the villa*. The romance of this villa set the tone for the Spring Summer 2012 collection.
We saw a lot of color! And I am really liking it so much! (Can you tell yet that I really love color?)
How can you not fall in LOOOVE with this lagoon- colored crocodile D bag????
 |
| The softest, most supple, and almost suede- like texture of this croc D bag is fantastic!!! |
In purple!
 |
| this is really the softest crocodile bag I've ever touched, seriously |
Shocking colors in python-- bright yellow and hot pink. Oh ladies, you will want this bag just as I do once you see either in person!
Hello there, another bag in that beautiful lagoon blue color. Major plus factor: the bag's in python!
This is a bag I can't wait to get. It's compact without being too small for your things, and the colors on this are beautiful. PS you can't go wrong with python!
A new Tod's tote in python. The fringes that run down the center make for a fun and flirty tote :)
Concept D Bags: These bags are not in production for retail consumption. These are the "one- offs" which could serve as inspiration for future designs. I'm loving the colors of this one-- I think this would make a fantastic bag for a fashion editorial!
Especially loving this one! It'll be a tad heavy with the chains, but for a bag this embellished? I would still want to carry it! It's really beyond amazing!!
And these are the best shoes, detail- wise *and comfort- wise too of course*
 |
| very tight beads that somehow remind me of python skin. Doesn't it? :) |
Woven threads on the ballerina flats
 |
| This shoe looks even better up close! I like these because they don't have that average ballerina flat look |
Bead-dazzled!
Now THIS I love! I am reminded of those very ornate brocade-beaded loafers for lounging around wherever! :) This is the all- purpose shoe... for all seasons!!
I am still on a visual high each time I review these photos I took from the Tod's presentation in Milano. And now I'm glad I am able to share these with you. Do you have a favorite yet? :)
The Tod's D bags and other merchandise will be available come Spring/ Summer next year. Start saving up for one-- I promise you, it's really worth the price!! The brand never compromises when it comes to quality and this is definitely an investment piece worth having!!
