As part of an exciting collaboration, Tod’s has teamed up with Japanese design studio Nendo and its Chief Designer, Oki Sato, to create a bag that is an architectural work of art.

Celebrating the brand’s reputation for the finest Italian craftsmanship, the men’s Architect bag is definitive of sophistication, high quality and that understated charm. One of the stand-out points that singles out Tod’s bags from the crowd is the excellence of the natural leather used, which comes from exclusive tanneries.

A good bag needs to be flexible, and Tod’s Architect Bag certainly ticks this box. The multifunctional bag has a flat design that takes shape when filled. In fact, its shape can be transformed to suit a wide variety of carrying tasks.

Designed for the dedicated architect, the bag can hold a full-size A3 drawing as well as any materials in extended mode. Folding the bag in half creates two spaces in which to store A4-size drawings and documents.

The bag can be worn on or across the shoulder thanks to the extendable shoulder strap, which can be shortened or lengthened as desired. Furthermore, as the two handles may be stored away, the Architect Bag may also be used as a clutch.

If this wasn’t enough, the interior has been designed to store all your needs: the number of compartments and accessories include various pockets, a key ring, and iPhone and iPad cases. As the brand themselves have said, “This bag is an indispensable addition to the modern man’s wardrobe”.
