History

The origins of TOUS date back to 1920 when Salvador Tous Blavi and his wife Teresa Ponsa Mas opened a small watch repair workshop that progressively grew in prominence in the jewelry industry. In 1965, Salvador Tous, the son of the founder, married Rosa Oriol - the pair pooled their talents, experience and creativity for the purpose of designing a new style of jewelry. At present, the brand name has more than 400 stores. Since 1920, TOUS has created jewelry as the company’s core business, but also produces a broad range of accessories, such as bags, watches, perfumes, eyeglasses, textiles and small leather goods. As of 2012, the company produces 30 annual collections.

Jewelry is the core business of TOUS. Due to its success, at the end of the 20th century, the company began to diversify its portfolio to offer a wide range of extras: bags, perfumes, watches, glasses and other accessories. The jewelry sets the trend for the other product lines, and under the strict supervision of the artistic director, the jewelry inspiration is transmitted to the other categories. Moreover, each TOUS item reflects the brand’s values of tenderness, fun and youthful spirit, expressing the company’s very soul.

TOUS combines craft traditions with the latest technological advances in order to supply their worldwide points of sale.

The company uses the best materials and leathers, ensuring the highest quality finishes. Thanks to its immense creative and manufacturing capabilities, TOUS launches more than 50 new collections a year.

In addition, TOUS offers a line of children’s watches with iconic brand images, as well as a line of men’s watches, which is gaining in popularity.

A full range of clothing and accessories for babies, girls and boys that stand out for their quality fabrics and attention to detail.

Contemporary era

Tous' managerial skills resulted in a national expansion during the 1980s. The Tous’ four daughters — Rosa, Alba, Laura and Marta — subsequently joined the family business. For the first time, the company has collaborated with Eugenia Martinez de Irujo, the daughter of the Duchess of Alba. Consolidated over numerous years, the working relationship with the Duchess of Montoro, which is her title, has led to the development of a signature collection; 'Iluminada', 'Leyendas' and 'Cercle' are some of her recent product releases.

In the 1990s, the international expansion began with the opening of the brand's first store in Japan; countries like Mexico and the United States followed. Kylie Minogue has been one of several celebrity 'images' of the brand name and has contributed to consolidating TOUS' international popularity. Recently, TOUS chose Jennifer Lopez as the image for its Spring–Summer campaign. TOUS also launched a special collaboration with Manolo Blahnik for the creation of the 'Manolo Blahnik for TOUS' collection; the collaborative release consisted of pendants that are a faithful reproduction, in gold and in silver, of the famous 'Campari' shoe.
