Tory Burch is the queen of preppy chic. From the Upper East Side to the Palm Beaches, no one does it like her. She’s also managed to garner a significant crossover audience by adding in a few more street smart styles. This Tory turn-lock shoulder bag, however, is pure preppy goodness.
Blue chambray makes me think of all those button down shirts that were so popular in the 1980s. But other than the effect of the leather, there’s nothing retro about the Tory. It’s so timeless that I would be hard-pressed to place it in any particular decade. In any case, the chambray effect leather is a genius choice; it has the crisp look of cotton with the durability of leather.
The shape of the Tory is so clean and unmuddied. It’s really hard to find any fault with its design. Actually, even though it’s completely out of keeping with my own personal taste, I just can’t seem to find anything wrong with it. The fresh lines are reinforced by the understated seaming, and the Burch logo gives the bag an almost nautical look.
$425 is great price to pay for a bag that can’t be dated. This is definitely one for the ages, folks.
