Tory Burch is an American lifestyle brand that embodies the personal style and sensibility of its Chairman, Co-CEO and Designer, Tory Burch.

Our company launched in February 2004 with a single boutique on what was then a remote street in downtown Manhattan. Today, we are a global brand with a presence in more than 50 countries, but in many ways we are only just beginning. There is so much we want to do!
