During this time, Tod's was popularized by Hollywood celebrities, European royalty, including Diana, Princess of Wales, and corporate executives in New York.
The company is majority controlled by the founding Della Valle family. Its use of private financing throughout the 1990s saw to its listing on the Borsa Italiana in 2000, at a valuation of €1.2 billion. In 2021 Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) raised its investment in the group from 3.2% to 10%. After an attempt to take the company private in 2022, Tod's Group entered into a privatization deal with private equity firm L Catterton in 2024.
