For Spring Summer 2026, Tod’s continues to push its mastery of material excellence with Pashmy
It isn’t pashmina, and it isn’t cashmere. At Tod’s, Pashmy is something else entirely: a light, fluid material that recalls the delicacy traditionally associated with cashmere, from which it takes its name. A highly refined expression of leather craftsmanship, Pashmy boasts an exceptionally soft, almost silky touch, achieved without wool or fleece. Instead, it comes from carefully selected leathers, treated and finished using Tod’s long-standing expertise.
“Pashmy represents the ultimate expression of Tod’s leather selection: it is exclusive, lightweight, and silky to the touch, the result of meticulous craftsmanship, enhancing both natural softness and chromatic depth,” the brand explains.
What makes Pashmy interesting is not just how it looks, but how it behaves. It reflects Tod’s broader idea of luxury, rooted in restraint, precision, and touch. This is craftsmanship meant to be felt before it is seen. First introduced in the brand’s repertoire in 2025, Pashmy has already become a defining thread within the house’s collections, including the recent Spring Summer drop.
It appears across ready-to-wear as a material that moves easily with the body, lending structure without stiffness. Jackets, shirts, dresses, and outerwear are cut with a sense of ease, allowing the leather to fall naturally while maintaining clean, confident lines.
The innovation also lies in the finish. A specialised tanning process gives Pashmy water-repellent properties, while refining the surface to something that feels almost like fabric. It’s still unmistakably leather, but softened to its most fluid expression.
The idea extends beyond clothing to select footwear including interpretations of the iconic Gommino. Everything feels connected by the same tactile sensibility: soft, balanced, and considered.
With Pashmy, Tod’s speaks to its vision of Italian luxury today: relaxed but exacting, modern but grounded in the savoir faire intrinsic to the brand.
