That collaboration with The Row must have gone pretty well for TOMS, because the company has just announced another high-end line of their ubiquitous espadrille-style shoes. According to Footwear News, the brand has confirmed the fall ’12 launch of Toms+, which will retail for $100 to $140—about $100 more than the canvas originas. “We’ve spent a lot of time creating this line, picking out premium materials and using different design techniques,” founder Blake Mycoskie told FN. Look for the line at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and American Rag in August.
