Tod’s Marlin for Sailing Collection

Tod’s presents the Marlin project, a collection inspired by the legendary boat once owned by John F Kennedy. It pays tribute to a lifestyle of simple and authentic pleasures, a day at sea, a conversation among friends, the slow rhythm of summer, where conviviality meets natural and timeless elegance.

This relaxed and understated spirit bridges the Italian lifestyle, of which Tod’s has always been a global ambassador, and the refined yet relaxed attitude typical of Hyannisport and New England. A bond that Marlin itself has strengthened: for over twenty years, the boat has sailed the waters of Capri, which has become its new home.

The Tod’s Sailing collection’s pieces and accessories, designed for both men’s and women’s, capture this balance between sophistication and spontaneity. Nautically inspired materials and details engage in dialogue with leather, Tod’s signature material, creating products suited for life at sea and outdoors. The result is an aesthetic with a strong artisanal character, where tradition and functionality meet, perfectly reflecting the brand’s excellence. The palette is rendered in shades of green and cream, a direct homage to the colors of the boat that inspired the project.

In the ready-to-wear line, the new Marlin Bomber stands out, crafted in technical cotton. The pockets and collar are trimmed in soft nappa leather, while a sailor’s knot personalizes the zipper, subtly evoking the nautical theme that runs throughout the Sailing collection.

Alongside it, the Tod’s Marlin loafer, a historical icon of the brand, returns in an updated version, defined by contemporary volumes and proportions. While recalling the world of sailing, it stands out for its natural versatility, making it suitable for diverse settings, from the city to leisure, from the sea to the countryside, embodying relaxed, timeless elegance. The heel features the signature codes of the iconic Gommino loafer: a discreet yet telling detail, indicating a genuine connection to the Tod’s world of refined taste and artisanal tradition.

The sailing collection is completed by a sophisticated canvas and leather bag, which can be personalised with playful charms, and an elegant silk scarf depicting the Marlin, perfect for stylish, light-hearted days at sea. The indispensable Greca Belt, the brand’s iconic accessory, is characterized by an all-leather clasp and, for the occasion, is presented in a white-and-green striped version.
