Fashion industry has always been characterized by the transient nature of fads and trends. There is a whole galaxy of stars and celebrities who parade around the numerous cat walks in the fashion capitals scattered across the world, making for quite a spectacle.
The whole fashion press descends on the much celebrated cat walks in Milan, New York, Tokyo among other places, where they snap pictures of the latest creations of the many celebrated designers that are given God like status in the fashion world.
These pictures are carried on the plush magazines across the world and also circulated around the internet where people get to see first hand what would be in and what would be out for the coming seasons. This in essence is the wonderful trickle down effect of the fashion industry and how it has steadily become a global phenomenon.
A platform where trendy teenagers getting their inspiration from fashion originating from elsewhere, adopting trends, whether it be the busy bustling metropolises of Beijing or the many shopping districts in Paris. Never has fashion traveled so fast and wide in such a manner across so many cultures.

Many people who have spent most of their lives being involved in the industry or being keen observers of the fashion trends in the industry lament the transistory nature of the fashion industry.
The style element is becoming extinct and whats left in its place is just an industry fixated on cashing out to the maximum. With new brands only coming in the fashion game for making a quick buck, lacking any original atheistic sense of their own, Tods is one of the few brands that are a rare sensation in this sense where they have, through the years, retained not only their originality and unique style but also been a profitable and respectable fashion house in the process.
Tod’s recently announced a number of new additions to their existing range of Tod’s handbags. These include bags that have not been seen previously and are definitely refreshing to look at and happen to be really well designed and immediately distinguishable from the rest. The theme for the design happens to be “Italian descent” which is quite apparent when one looks at the bags.
Considering that a high number of renowned design houses are having their products manufactured in China, it is impressive that Tod’s continues to manufacture in Italy and still have a decent profit margin. This is something that is definitely a good enough reason to consider looking at some of these bags.
The bags are intricately designed and each of the different styles exudes a different image to the outside world. While one takes you back to the iconic and carefree 50s and 60s, the others are more modernistic and look like a fusion between the retro and futuristic designs. Hence, depending on what kind of image you are planning to go for, there will be suitably designed Tod’s handbags available for achieving just that.
