The Timeless Appeal of Tory Burch

Tory Burch launched her brand in 2004, and it’s been a favorite ever since. Why? Because she nails that perfect mix of luxury, class, and versatility. I’ve been a fan for years because her pieces add that touch of luxury without feeling over the top.

When it comes to designer’s bags, Tory Burch is still a name that pops up on everyone’s wish list. Her tote bags and crossbodies have become essentials in many women’s handbag collections, including mine! I love that her designs often come with an adjustable strap, so you can wear them in different ways depending on the occasion. And if you’re wondering about the best Tory Burch bags to add to your collection, check out the selections at Bloomingdale’s and Saks—they always have a great variety.

Now, let’s chat about why her handbags and shoes are still as popular as ever in 2024!

Handbags: Still a Must-Have

The Iconic Logo Bags

We can’t talk about Tory Burch handbags without mentioning her signature double-T logo. Some brands go overboard with their logos, but Tory keeps it elegant. It’s just the right amount of “look at me” without being too flashy.

For us gurls over 50, Tory Burch logo bags are the perfect blend of sophistication and style. You can get that subtle luxury vibe without feeling like you’re trying too hard. Plus, they go with everything—from casual jeans to date-night dresses! You might have noticed that I love tote bags, and the black Ella Patent Nylon Tote is one I carry as my everyday bag.

Kira and Fleming: The New Favorites

If you haven’t checked out Tory Burch’s Kira and Fleming collections, you need to! I love how the quilted leather designs are both modern and classic. These versatile bags look great dressed up or down, which makes them the perfect addition to your wardrobe! Whether you’re going out to lunch with the gals or dressing up for a night out, these bags fit every occasion.

Personally, I love how you can throw on a simple outfit and instantly elevate it with one of these beauties. That’s what makes Tory Burch bags timeless—they never feel out of style!

Quilted leather handbags are the rage and have been for some time. This bag looks and feels luxurious, and the convertible crossbody chain with the large black tassel is beautiful. I like that you can carry the bag as a crossbody or convert the chain to carry it on your shoulder or arm.

Shoes: Comfort Meets Style

Ballet Flats

The ballet flat is one of Tory’s most iconic pieces, and guess what? It’s still in style! Ballet flats are making a comeback this year, but honestly, for me, they never went out of style. They’re comfortable, cute, and perfect for when you want to look put-together without wearing heels. Plus, Tory’s flats give that extra touch of elegance with her subtle logo.

Sandals

Now, let’s not forget how popular the Miller Sandal was. It has that effortless style we all love. They’re comfortable, versatile, and just plain cute. While they aren’t as popular as they once were, they still make them in a variety of colors and even with a lug sole.

Classic Yet Modern

My favorite thing about Tory Burch is the way she balances classic styles with modern touches. Her handbags and shoes feel current without being overly trendy. This makes them perfect for gurls like us who want to look stylish without chasing every new fad. It’s that sweet spot between timeless and on-trend that I strive for in my own style.

One of the things I love about Tory Burch is how easy her pieces are to style. You can take a Tory handbag, pair it with a simple outfit like jeans and a blouse, and instantly look chic. Her shoes? Same thing! Whether it’s ballet flats sandals, espadrilles, or sneakers, they work with just about anything in your wardrobe.

  2. Patricia Martinez says:

    I’m going to become a Tori Burch Fan! I Love ❤️💯 all of the bags and the shoes 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank You Tania for posting I’m glad that they are still in style and that it’s not to late for me.

  3. Cindy Cottrell says:

    Have fun! With regard to your post on the stadium clear bag policy ~ Another place to check is Marleylilly. I purchased one with a strap and it is all trimmed in a faux leather cognac color. The best part is the personalized initials. You may know that they offer a choice of embroidered colors and fonts. My bag isn’t for NFL games, yet rather for high school games which, nowadays, try to have security at all levels.

  4. Love Tory Burch bags. The outlet has good deals!!!

  5. I love Tory Burch! You are so right: they never go out of style and are so durable! Pricey, but worth it.

  6. sue koren says:

    I pared down all the childhood school stuff to just the best few items.

  7. Tory Burch…always a classic. That navy blue blazer you have on is fabulous! 💗

  8. Julie Lozano says:

    I love Tory Burch! In my opinion her things are timeless. You’re looking great! 😎

  9. Cara MacNinch says:

    I absolutely love Tory Burch handbags!

  10. Aren’t we lucky to have these treasures! I have photographed the majority of the artwork to create a printed book. But I have kept some originals along with report cards and a few essays. I think it’s nice to preserve these for future generations to enjoy. When going through my parents home after they passed, I was thrilled to come across not only their report cards, but also a few that were my grandparents!

  11. We should support American designers. Having moved many times, I take photos of those cherished moments. my photo albums move with me but there were too many cards and children’s art work to keep moving.

  12. Ginger Hiller says:

    Beautiful scripture today! Tory Burch does have some very timeless items. Her brand makes me think about St. John’s dresses from many years ago.

  13. Good morning Tania,
    I love the book idea for your little memories. Laminate the original!
    Thanks for all your fashion ideas. Have a good day

  14. I love the quality of Tory Burch. Glad it is still in style

  15. Roberta Schwandner says:

    I love these handbags.

  16. Hi Tania, there are services that you send off your children’s projects, notes to them and they convert into a book. I have used Plum Print and they are great! Hope this helps:)

    1. That sounds great! Thanks.

  17. I don’t own a Tory Burch item but have always thought they were pretty and well made products.

  18. There is no question that the quality is unbeatable. I have one pair of Tony Birch ballet flats that were gifted to me and I love how comfortable they are.
    Wish I could afford one of the totes.

  19. Love your question about storing memory items. If you get some good replies it would be fun if you share them.

  20. Like the McGraw bag style.

  21. I keep special notes in a sheet protector and put in a box or binder. I have several from my grandchildren.

  22. That is a great question and I’m excited to hear some responses. We were tossing around the idea of moving and the thought of getting rid of and purging was overwhelming. I have several totes with kids and grandkids memories. We decided to stay in our house but I still need to get rid of a lot. I have a friend who tossed most of her kids artwork and only kept a small amount from each child. This will be hard but I know I’m holding on to way too many things. Some of my kids have been out of the house for several years and I know they don’t want any of it. Thanks for asking this question, I thought it was just me!

    1. That sounds exactly like what I’m looking at. Some items are super special and have memories attached to them.

  23. I love Tory! I keep things like that in a plastic Ben in my basement. Cute note!

  24. I’ve been a Tory Burch fan for years and have soooo many of her shoes and boots, just got a really cute pair of sneakers white, cream and tan and a darling pair of loafers I. A beautiful caramel…found both at the TB outlet…
    I receive a birthday $50 card every year and this year got another one randomly for the outlet, I think you receive if you subscribe to the emails.
    Quality is always good, would definitely recommend. Thanks for featuring.

    1. I have a pair of her boots that are gorgeous! I forgot to mention those.

  25. Comfort and style together!

  26. If you figure out a way to save those precious keepsakes, please share. I have boxes of those too. I doubt my own children will cherish them as much as I do, when they are cleaning out my house someday. (hopefully a long way off)
