Oh, Tom Ford. The irrepressible, perfectly stubbled, always-tuxedo’d fashion icon debuted his eponymous line several seasons ago to much fanfare and even greater secrecy, and slowly, ever so slowly, the collection has started to leak out to more and more traditional retail channels. What we care about, of course, are the bags, and they’ve finally found their way to an online retailer for both our critical scrutiny and convenient shopping pleasure. There are few better ways to start a Friday morning.
It would be a little bit better if the designs themselves were more exciting, though. From someone like Tom Ford, I expected incredibly chic, anything-but-basic basics with exquisite details that would really set the collection apart. The bags are basic alright, but they don’t feel particularly distinctive; the company is missing an opportunity to make a very important branding statement that it has executed more effectively in its beauty and fragrance lines. As expected, the prices are high – think Bottega Veneta, if not a bit higher. Check out the high points of the collection after the jump or shop the full assortment via NeimanMarcus.com.

Nothing exciting from TF here IMO. I just don’t get the NM prices-
The Drawstring Top bucket bag seems a lot like the Noés, but the Large Petra looks promising. And only gold hardware for everything?

Agree – the Petra is the most promising piece of the collection. The gold hardware doesn’t surprise me, though, Ford’s corporate branding includes a ton of gold – the makeup and fragrance packaging, for instance. It’s in their company palette.
Yes you are right, the Petra looks amazing. I just wonder how heavy those Natalias will be, the golden turnlocks are almost half of the surface area!
Love the Jennifer shoulder bag….. I love the clean and simple aesthetic.
To be honest,nothing here is really that wonderful. I am sure they are beautifully made and great materials. The smaller bags and much better than the large ones…the large bags are so boring.

Adore Tom he is the best icon to market his name that said the bags are not ground breaking on the other hand they are smart pieces since you can wear them for ever.
