Ahead of the spring-summer 2027 womenswear show in Milan, Tod’s brand ambassador Becky Armstrong stopped by Lake Como in a look that let one accessory do most of the talking. She paired a navy knit over a crisp white shirt with straight denim and loafers. Then she completed the look with the T Signature Top Handle.
The bag is an evolved take on everything the house’s Timeless T is known for. It is compact, structured and crafted from buttery calf leather, with the signature gold T hardware. It’s also part of an extended collection spanning materials like grained leather, pony-effect leather and perforated leather. What’s new is a leather belt detail that wraps around the entire bag.

That belt is more than a design flourish, however. It also opens up a personalisation option through Tod’s My Signature service. Clients can choose gold-tone metal letters spelling their initials and add them directly to the T Signature Top Handle bag. This instantly makes the accessory unmistakably theirs.
The mini, measuring 26 cm by 18 cm, is light enough for everyday errands yet polished enough for evening. A detachable strap also lets it move between hand-carry and crossbody without missing a beat. The small, as seen on Becky Armstrong, is considerably larger at 37 cm by 24 cm. That makes it an excellent over-the-shoulder option that works equally well for getaways.
Overall, the bag still reads as Tod’s first, while the initials sit as a quieter, second signature underneath. This is exactly why the T Signature Top Handle worked so naturally as the finishing touch on Becky Armstrong’s Lake Como look ahead of the spring-summer 2027 show.
