One of the standout bags from Tod’s for fall is the “Upper” bag in black leather and brushed gold hardware. I’m obsessing over this bag, and how cute does it look on Julia Roberts!?!? The piccole size is $1395 and the larger is $1545 in leather. There is one in an ultra soft and rich Bison leather for $1950. My entire family is devoted to Tod’s, my husband loves Tod’s shoes as does our four year old boy, the shoe snob– he demanded a pair of the toddler calf hair loafers in the spring but I refused to buy them for him (too expensive!). He actually cried and said he wouldn’t walk into a Tod’s again unless I bought them for him. Uh okay, I dragged him out wailing, “I want the cheetah shoes”. We were in LA last week and I got a call about the 65% off Family and Friends private sale and of course headed straight to the Rodeo Dr. boutique to scope out the goodies. My shoe snob toddler lit up the minute we walked in and said “are we getting the cheetah shoes?” At 65% off I thought they were justifiable. But I knew the hubby would disown both of us if we went home with leopard skin shoes so we compromised and got the calf hair camouflage pair (so cute!). Call our girl Carla at Tod’s on Rodeo Drive for more info 310.285.0591! This was in limited quantities so you better jump on it!
