Tod’s opens 1st boutique in P.R. at The Mall of San Juan
Accessories etailer Tod’s recently opened its first boutique in Puerto Rico, at The Mall of San Juan.
There are two large shop windows dedicated
to the Tod’s women’s and men’s collections, which are presented in a unique
selling space of about 2,800 square feet, organized on one floor.
The store will feature the retailer’s
latest collections, which is a mix of its iconic products as well as the latest
fashion proposals. The collections will follow the same timing as Europe and
rest of the world.
“The opening of Tod’s first boutique in Puerto
Rico, underlines the importance of the Caribbean market for a luxury brand such
as Tod’s, which is the symbol of Made in Italy around the world,” Tod’s President Diego Della Valle said.
“There are high expectations linked to the
firm growth that the luxury market is experiencing in Puerto Rico,” he said. “Tod’s
strongly believes in the potential of the market and think that our products
combine very well with the Caribbean lifestyle, chic, sophisticated and luxury
understated.”
All Tod’s products are constructed by
hand, by Italian artisans. The manufacturing process is similar to the
procedures used by the ancient saddle makers: there is extreme attention paid
to the sewing of each bag and the cutting of the leather, as each bag is pieced
together.
Founded as a small shoe factory in Casette
D’Ete (Fermo) at the beginning of the last century, the Tod’s Group was
developed in the 1940’s by Dorino Della Valle, Diego’s father.
