“Tod’s Together,” symbolic of unity and solidarity, will bow in September, said Tod’s chairman and ceo Diego Della Valle.

The goal of the Italian luxury company will be “to avoid injecting too much product on the market,” taking into account the possibility consumer spending might restart “in a slower way than expected.”

In cities like Chicago, Austin, Tex., and New York, local police departments have increased patrols to help protect retailers during the COVID-19 shutdown.

The decision was made in light of the progressive worsening of the coronavirus crisis and the Tod’s group will also not distribute dividends in 2020.
