Have you ever borrowed something from your Mom’s closet? Tory Burch did, and it led her to fashion fame. 

It all began with the Reva flat (named for Tory’s mother), a simple ballet flat with a double T medallion on the toe. You probably know this piece: After all, it was fashion’s “it” shoe when it came out. 

I remember first hearing of Tory Burch in Oprah’s final “Favorite Things” episode, when Oprah gave away matching shoes and bags, emblazoned with that double-T logo. That was back in 2010. Today, Tory Burch is head of a fashion empire, and her success is only growing.

The Tory Story

Tory Burch, then Robinson, was born and raised in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. She remembers an idyllic childhood, in a sprawling mansion with her two fabulous parents and three brothers. 

The Robinsons ran in elite social circles. Tory’s parents were stylish jet-setters, traveling the globe with Louis Vuitton trunks in tow. Tory’s mother would do a lot of her shopping abroad, which served to influence her daughter’s style. For example, Reva often purchased tunics from Morocco, which would later serve as inspiration for some of Tory’s signature products. It was a padded, extravagant lifestyle, the backdrop for Tory Burch’s future endeavors.

Tory once told Women’s Wear Daily,

“I always watch my mother, Reva, get dressed at night, and just look incredibly stylish. And my father had his own innate sense of style. He used to design every piece of his clothing and have incredible details, like lining his dinner jackets with Hermes scarves and piping them and all of his shirts with initials. He was one of my biggest, biggest inspirations,”
