Perk-Up Leather

The “ber” months are fast approaching, which means we’re closing in on the holiday season. We’re also pretty excited to add a little layering to our outfits as fashion takes on a cooler hue with styles that keep us warm and/or dry, wherever we may be.


One of the most prestigious European luxury brands to date, Tod’s escorts us into the cool weather ahead with luxurious accessories that are slick and chic. Blacks and grays are an obvious staple, with surprisingly classy hues of eggshell whites and nudes, in its leather collection of shoes and bags.


Latching on to the sling bag trend, Tod’s presents its version in a rectangular shape that comes with a stylish, metallic buckle closure. 

The Iconic D Bag luxury also comes in full-leather lining, and an assortment of jeweled tones of royal and cornflower blues and cherry reds. Satchels are also available in a myriad of sizes and leather to match the wearer’s personality and lifestyle. The leopard-print, pony-skin ankle boot with wrap closure, thick heels, and the brand’s trademark rubber pebbled sole, is a must-have as well.

Some pieces are livened up with brightly colored leather accompaniments, as seen in the handles and flaps. Wristlet clutches are also offered, in exotic croc and lizard skins, that are perfect for day-to-night wear. 

Gommino loafers in colorful snakeskin leather are a welcome set, with Croco bracelets to complete the look.

Croco organizers, passport holders, wallets and credit card holders in bright, popping hues such as magenta, orange, and blue make great accessories for the working woman.
