To coincide with the launch of BoF Careers, the global marketplace for fashion talent, we speak to Tory Burch, chief executive of Tory Burch, on what drives the company’s culture.

Tory Burch was founded in New York City in 2004 by its namesake designer. The premium fashion label is privately owned, with headquarters in New York.


Tory Burch is an American luxury lifestyle brand founded in New York in 2004. What began with a boutique in Manhattan and an e-commerce site has since grown into a global business with 400 stores across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Australia. In addition, the brand is available at more than 3,000 department and specialty stores worldwide.
Tory Burch started her company with a clear purpose: to build a global luxury brand and a foundation that would advance women’s economic power. Designed in her New York atelier, the collection includes ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, accessories, beauty and home. The Foundation was established in 2009 to provide women entrepreneurs in the United States with access to capital, education and community.
