That's TOUS

E-mail comment on this item

Originating from Spain, it's no wonder that TOUS is muy caliente!

TOUS started out in 1920 as a family-owned repair shop company in Spain. After a couple of years the owners, Salvador Tous Blavi and his wife Teresa Ponsa Mas, decided to start selling luxurious watches that they already knew how to fix. Today, TOUS (which is French for all) has become an internationally renowned boutique that offers people beautifully designed jewelry, handbags, ties, broaches and custom rings. The boutique is famously known for its iconic bear logo, which has represented the brand since 1985. More recently, the boutique hired Kylie Minogue to represent the brand in a series of new advertisements. People.com reported TOUS Co-President Madame Rosa Oriol saying, to carry off all this radiance and sophistication, we needed the best and for me, that is Kylie Minogue. Kylie certainly didn't disappoint as she has appeared in a number of TOUS advertisements looking absolutely gorgeous.

Since the 1920s, TOUS has certainly exploded onto the world market. There are almost 400 stores in a total of 42 countries. Even though their jewelry is chic, their bags are out of this world. Not only are they stylish, but the design allows for maximum usage.

I have been carrying around a TOUS bag (pictured above right) for the past 4 years, and I can't believe how versatile it is. Not only is it stylish, as it goes with every single outfit, but the interior is so large and roomy. With a TOUS bag I realized that any woman can fit all her must have items in their purse and have room to spare!

Sadly there are only four TOUS stores in Canada; however you can always order products off of their website: www.tous.com. Below are the locations of each TOUS store in Canada. Happy Shopping!
