Tod's creative director Matteo Tamburini steps down

· Beauty & Fashion · Italy

Matteo Tamburini is stepping down as creative director of Tod's, Vogue Business reports. Tamburini joined the Italian leather goods house in 2023 after serving as head designer of ready-to-wear at Bottega Veneta. His exit leaves a creative vacancy at a brand that has been working to sharpen its fashion credentials beyond its core driving-shoe and leather-goods business under the Della Valle family's ownership. The departure is the latest in a run of designer changes across luxury houses, a pattern that typically precedes a reset of product direction, runway messaging and wholesale assortments. No successor was named in the report.

Why it matters：Creative turnover at a heritage luxury house often precedes a reset of product and brand strategy, and adds to a broader wave of designer changes reshaping luxury.
