Tod’s presents the Marlin Project, a collection inspired by the legendary boat once owned by John F. Kennedy. It pays tribute to a lifestyle defined by simple, authentic pleasures — a day at sea, conversations among friends, and the slow rhythm of summer, where conviviality meets natural, timeless elegance.
This relaxed and understated spirit bridges the Italian lifestyle, of which Tod’s has long been a global ambassador, with the refined yet effortless attitude of Hyannisport and New England. The Marlin itself reinforces this connection: for over twenty years, the boat has sailed the waters of Capri, which has become its new home.

Designed for both men and women, the collection captures a balance between sophistication and spontaneity. Nautically inspired materials and details are paired with leather — Tod’s signature material — creating pieces suited for life at sea and beyond. The result is an aesthetic rooted in craftsmanship, where tradition and functionality meet, reflecting the brand’s enduring excellence. The palette, rendered in shades of green and cream, pays direct homage to the colours of the Marlin.

Within the ready-to-wear line, the Marlin Bomber stands out, crafted in technical cotton with soft nappa leather trims at the pockets and collar. A sailor’s knot detail at the zipper subtly reinforces the nautical narrative woven throughout the collection.
Alongside it, the Tod’s Marlin loafer, a historical icon of the brand, returns in an updated form with contemporary proportions. While evoking the world of sailing, its versatility allows it to transition seamlessly from city to coast, embodying a relaxed yet refined elegance. The heel features the signature Gommino detailing — a discreet element that reflects the brand’s artisanal heritage.

The collection is completed by a canvas and leather bag that can be personalised with playful charms, as well as an elegant silk scarf featuring the Marlin motif — ideal for effortless days at sea. The iconic Greca Belt also returns, presented in a white-and-green striped version, echoing the collection’s maritime inspiration.
