I started this thread so I thought I would come back and comment, as I have purchased much more TB since the beginning of this thread.

Unfortunately my opinion of TB has not changed much. I have 3 pairs of revas now (I had 6 but sold 3 pairs). The 3 pairs that I have now are of decent quality (do not need to be babied). 2 are patent leather and 1 is calf hair which I kind of baby anyway. The patent leather seems to hold up fairly well. I also have a pair of black clines that are not great quality at all. Scuffed leather after only a few wears.

I also have 2 tory burch bags left. I had 6 but sold 4 of them. I have a robinson dome satchel (large) in the luggage color and a mini dome in mint. Both bags scuff very easily even though they are the "anti-scuff" saffiano leather. I love to look at them but hate to carry them. They need to be babied like crazy, especially the mint color. It's a shame because they are so beautiful. Definitely NOT worth the price in my opinion. I would buy MK saffiano leather before I would buy TB again.

ETA: my reasoning for selling my 3 pairs of revas and my 4 bags were that they were too delicate for my liking. I had a blush tote that I loved but got too dirty too fast and I had an orange double zip tote from the robinson collection that i adored but it got sooo scuffed and dirty!!!!

ETA again: I am sad to say some of my Target bags have better quality than my TB in terms of scuffing, threading coming loose, getting dirty, etc :( they're not real leather but the craftsmanship holds up better.

well this is saddening. I just bought my first TB tote and ordered from the site last night another one to se which one I would like better. If the quality is not that great I am afraid. I was hoping the quality would be slightly higher than MK or Coach.

I have a ton of Tory Burch shoes (at least 35 pairs) and for the price point on most of them, I think the quality is there. I love my Eddies (flats and wedges), Carolines, Chelseas, Sally wedges, Thoras, and my TB heels and other flat sandals. However, I'd be wary of TB espadrille wedges and the classic leather Revas.

My TB espadrille wedges have both had quality issues with the wedge separating from the shoes after only a couple of wears. My classic leather Revas also looked really beat up after only a few wears and the sole started separating from the bottom of the shoe.

I've also had issues with zippers on TB boots. I had a pair with a back zipper that started coming apart the first time I wore them and I currently have a pair that have a side zipper where one of the shoes doesn't always zip properly and can start to come undone.

I love TB clothes (especially the cardigans) and have not had any clothing-related issues.

I avoid TB patent leather because I had an issue with a wallet peeling after using it for the first time.

As for TB bags and clutches, I have not had an quality issues.

I own 10 Robinson Double Zips, 4 Amanda totes, 4 Jaden totes, 3 Ellas and a ridiculous number of wallets. I returned Slouchy Marion and the Thea tote in Blush because they really weren't my style.

I use all my TB bags and do not baby them. I also travel with them. The Robinson Double Zips have held up the best, some better than others. My Cobalt Blue and Black w/ Patent corners wear like iron. Blood Orange disintegrated quickly, numerous spots with cracking and peeling leather and the leather wore off the handles after like five uses. Sand gets dirty too easily and Parisian Blue is prone to creasing. Zero issues with any Amanda totes and wallets. Jadens are okay but the corners are prone to holes much like Le Pliage totes. The Ellas are complete garbage. Trim is coming off the handles and the bags are completely fraying. One tip that I will pass on is that I have treated all of my bags with LovinMyBags handle cream because the leather completely wore off my Blood Orange Robinson after only a few wears and this freaked me out. LMB's cream has really helped to slow down the wear of all my bag handles from TB to my LV Empreinte.

I own an equally ridiculous number of Revas. Tumbled leather and patent hold up the best. Vegetable tan is the most delicate and starts to show wear really easily. The leather Revas from the last two seasons are complete garbage to me because medallions have fallen off and there is even a hole in the sole of one. I wore the shoe no more than 3x. This is completely unacceptable for a $200 shoe.

I own several TB blazers and jackets and have no issues with them. I own a dozen Simone cardigans and they are all holding up really well.

I think TB's quality, like almost every other designer out there, has decreased significantly in recent years but at sale prices most products are worth the money. My Robinsons are faring better than my Prada totes and those were almost 4x the price. My Miller sandals are faring better than my Hermes sandals which are almost 3x the price.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who had their blood orange robinson be completely horrible quality (well I wish it wasn't the case, but glad to know I wasn't the exception to a superb quality bag!). I am very disappointed in my TB bags! Would not purchase again.

what's been the experience with the ivory tory burch saffiano leather?

i got my first saffiano bag and i'm really torn if i should keep it or not. i've always wanted a white purse but was always worried about the dirt factor. i recently got the robinson double zip mini. i'm not totally keen on the look of the saffiano but was hoping the promise of better durability would help keep the white looking good but now i'm wondering if it should go back.

I own 5 TB handbags- all saffiano leather. 3 are black, 1 is bordeaux, 1 is cobalt blue. The only complaints that I know of from reading comments on the d'ifferent stores websites are about her regular leather handbags. I read that the quality on the bombe tote was not good overall in terms of longevity. I can say that no designer is perfect- not even LV, etc. We shall see how my bags wear over time.

Hi JLove, I just got myself the TB robinson saffiano tote in black. I've read some reviews that say that it scraches easy. Wanted to find out if you experienced it at all. Would love to hear on how your bags held up over the past two years. Thanks much!

Hello Ladies,

I am new to this forum and to TB.

I recently purchased a Miller sandal and Kailey kitten heel, and the Leighanne sandal for my daughter.

I am happy with these items, but have only worn a couple of times.

I am contemplating purchasing a high wedge, either Amanda, Selma, or Leticia. Having read through this thread, I was wondering if anyone could share your experience on any of these wedges. Would hate to end up with black toes or a broken logo plate after a few wearings.

Your advice is much appreciated!

Thanks.

I have the Amanda wedge in the medium and high wedge. They are both as nice as they were when I bought them. I do find the medium wedge to be more comfortable for all day wear but both have held up very nicely!

I don't own anything TB (yet) but I have noticed that their saffiano leather feels thin and very plastic.
I took out my MK saffiano wallet to compare and the MK leather was definitely higher quality :shrugs:
