Selecting a luxury brand to invest in can be quite the challenge. After all, you certainly want to get the best value in exchange for your money, and this includes top-notch quality and enduring style. If none of today's glossy "It" brands suit your taste, you may want to look into luxury labels with a more subdued visual vocabulary, like the Italian brand Tod's.
Founded in the 1980s, Tod's specializes in leather goods and is known for their excellent craftsmanship. Alongside their durable shoes, they also produce a selection of functional bags in ageless designs that'll transcend fads.
Need an entry point into the brand? Below, we've picked out 10 designs that you may want to consider copping. Take a look:

9. Tod's Oboe Bag
It doesn't get any more minimal than the Oboe Bag—a smooth pear-shaped carrier with a slim top handle. While the bag is intentionally plain, its gentle form paradoxically makes it a bit of a statement piece. Wear it with an all-black outfit to let it pop.
