Tory Burch is a high-end designer brand that is not only beloved by celebrities and socialites, but priced at what the company considers an attainable level even for fashionistas without a trust fund. This brand's selection includes clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, sunglasses, and handbags. It even offers a selection of children's clothing for budding fashion mavens.

What is probably the most surprising fact about this brand is that it has managed to develop its devoted following in a relatively short period of time. Unlike brands like Chanel and Dior, which have been around for many decades, Tory Burch burst onto the scene in February 2004. Its founder is the eponymous Tory Burch, who worked under such designers as Ralph Lauren and Vera Wang before striking out on her own. Burch, who is CEO of the company, opened her first shop in New York City.

Tory Burch prides itself on offering a full line of clothing that is classic and elegant, but not boring. Shoppers won't find many, if any, trendy, flash-in-the-pan one-season wonders in the Tory Burch line. Instead, the brand's apparel tends to be effortlessly chic and figure flattering. In addition, the brand prides itself on using only the finest materials in the creation of its beautiful merchandise.

Like the designer's clothing line and the brand's understated mirror-image T logo, Tory Burch's shoes are also stylish and tend to be sleek and clean-lined. The Tory Burch shoe collection includes everything from sassy heels to fashionable boots to sandals just right for the shore. Arguably, one of the brand's most popular and well-known pieces is its Reva ballet flat, which is named after Tory Burch's mother. Every season, the Reva ballet flat is offered in new colors and materials. Unfortunately, because these ballet flats are so popular, it is not uncommon for new versions to sell out quickly.

Tory Burch also carries a full line of accessories, including beautiful sunglasses, belts, gloves, jewelry, technology accessory covers, and hats. Its large selection of gorgeous purses, totes, wristlets and wallets are very well-made and popular. In addition, the brand also sells a line of bathing suits that includes bikinis and one-pieces as well as separates. To complement its swimwear, Tory Burch also offers pretty beach cover-ups, resort wear and towels.

Because the Tory Burch line is so popular, it has, unfortunately, become a target of counterfeiters, who slap the iconic mirror-image T logo onto cheap imitations of this designer brand's merchandise. The most common fakes that can be found on the market today are of Tory Burch's very popular Reva ballet flats and its beautiful purses and wallets. To avoid getting ripped off by scam artists, online shoppers should only buy Tory Burch merchandise from the official website. If saving money is important, a shopper should look for a coupon code to use when making a purchase from Tory Burch's official website. This is the best and safest way to get a real Tory Burch item at a lower price.
