    ITALIAN luxury goods group Tod's has agreed to buy the prestigious Roger Vivier shoe brand from Tod's biggest shareholder for 415 million euros (S$626 million), a price which some analysts said looked expensive.

    Tod's, controlled by Italy's Della Valle family, produces and sells Roger Vivier shoes in return for royalty payments under a licensing agreement due for renewal next year.
