The new Master in Bag Design by Tod's and Polimoda

Now, the young people who have always come from all over the world to Florence to admire and learn its artisan tradition have another reason to visit the city: the new Master in Bag Design signed by Tod's and Polimoda. 

We are very proud to collaborate with Polimoda, one of the most important schools in fashion. - Said Carlo Alberto Beretta, Brand Manager of the Tod's Group - Over this period of uncertainty, it is essential to support young creatives who believe in their future in fashion. The Tod's Group has been supporting the next generation of designers by encouraging an exchange of ideas to help enhance their creativity.

The director of Polimoda Massimiliano Giornetti shares the same enthusiasm for the project that, inheriting the know-how of the Marche company, will contribute to train future fashion and luxury professionals by combining cultural research and an innovative vision. Commenting on the new master he pointed out that:

Bags and accessories are some of the products that best represent Made in Italy all over the world. As far as artisanal tradition and production excellence, our territory has no rivals and companies are increasingly seeking highly qualified candidates.

The partnership between the Florentine institute and the iconic Italian luxury brand, famous for its refined men's and women's footwear and leather goods collections, consists of a 9-month specialization course taught in English. During the master, Tod's will focus on the study of production techniques, materials, merchandising strategy and collection planning. The course includes masterclasses, workshops and a brand-specific project in collaboration with the Maison, but there will also be visits to offices and production plants in the Florence area and internships in the company.
