So just a thought, why is it that even though supposedly Tory Burch has lower quality stuff, people will still buy items from the brand, even if only at sale price, considering it may fall apart soon? Is it just because of the brand name? I'm not judging - I find myself drawn to purchasing things simply because of the brand name......just a thought on fashion consumerism :3
 
I just bought the Careen Mid-Heel Loafer at the online sale because I loved the style. When I got them they were way too small, so I had to reorder a half-size up and I'll just return the other shoes to a Tory Burch store.
They're actually my first Tory Burch shoes and since they were on sale, I'm willing to give them a try. But full price Tory Burch? No way!
 
I bought Tory Burch Eddie Flats in Camel Patent Leather. It hasn't even been a month and the leather already started ripping. I've only worn them probably less than 10 times! I'm a little disappointed with the quality of the the shoes. I admit that they're comfortable but they didn't even last a month! Looking at the rip, the patent leather is paper thin so after a couple wears, I'm guessing it's pretty easy for the leather to rip. I'm not sure if I will be buying any more of the flats after that purchase. :nogood:
 
I was so close to purchasing a TB Robinson double zip tote.... It was 25% off yesterday .... And I didn't purchase because of the stitching was terrible, the saffiano leather was scratched and the black coloring was dried in some places... I was sad :( I thought the boutique would be different.
 
I remember buying some flats in 2009 and the quality has gone down tremendously. I love TB but agree with other posters, the quality just isn't there for the price point. Maybe too much growth too quickly? Who knows.
 
I have the same flats & the same issue.. i had to exchange them once because I thought i had just gotten a bad pair. I still continue to buy TB but i know the quality isnt there....so i usually just look for deals and will never pay full price for anything because it really isnt worth it


that's how i feel about the brand except for their clothing. i saw that retail for reva flats is $400 after tax! def. not worth it.

she makes cute stuff...but i have never paid even close to retail for anything TB. the price i pay for the items are worth it to me. for example i got a pair of low heels for $60 from a consignment shop. that is a good price for a leather shoe imo.
 
I like TB things but no my favs i won a beautiful makeup bag last xmas in a bank Twitter promo and its really cute but the printing is fading with the use, also one if my bff, that has enough money to buy new bags have two or 3 bags, but i found them not as great for the price, even she borrowed me a black ella tote and found it so, how can i say... Poor in quality that really disapointed me, i was thinking in buying one but i'll better search for a pre-owned burberry or coach. I wondered i was being just jeallous saying TB is sooooo over priced. Good evening ladies :)
 
I just treated myself to a Robinson as it was 50% off in the sale online, when I got it i was a little disappointed in the quality for what should have been a £500 bag. I took her out one and was so protective of her as it just didn't feel like I could use it. The stitching on the strap and the pulling on the d rings from using the long strap worried me even though it was barely filled! Needless to say I emailed the Customer Services and they have advised me to return the bag. Such a disappointment when I thought I'd found such a bargain. Would think twice about buying from TB in the future. Lets hope I get a speedy refund so i can start looking for an alternative!
 
I really hope that TB starts to read the reviews that are out there both here and on the website, the quality of TB has just become really disappointing. I love the styles and colors, but cannot accept the poor quality.

On my black Reva flats that were pretty new I had probably worn them 10-15 times before the gold logo just popped off! All of a sudden the screw part just loosened and the whole logo flopped around, it was so embarrassing!

I have several pairs of Revas, but I honestly won't be buying more of them. I have a pair of the brown leather with the leather logo, and they have this plastic on the inside that gives me hot feet and blisters everytime I wear them for a long period of time. Which SUCKS since I think they are so cute. Scary though because when I went to Nordstroms the other day the pair they had of those on display looked trashed, and more because of the quality of them than anything else.
 
I have a pair of Revas and an Amanda clutch but don't plan on buying any more Tory Burch because of quality issues on both items.

These Revas are actually my 2nd pair. I bought an all black leather pair (leather logo) and they started wearing out so fast. I wore them a lot because I bought them to be my go-to flat. For the price, I wanted a pair of flats that would take a beating and I could wear often. These flats do not meet those standards! My first pair started wearing out in the front and back after only a few wears. The inside sole started peeling up front front eventually too. I thought it was a defective pair. I bought another pair to replace those, this time with the silver logo. Same problems. The front part is starting to form a hole, and I've only had them for a year. They don't wear well at all. For the money, they should last MUCH MUCH longer.

For my Amanda bag, the silver logo on the front has scratches on it where you can see the brass underneath the silver coloring. Some of the silver on the chain strap is coming off too.

Just bad quality all around. Not worth the money.
 
I have a pair of classic revas. And everytime I wear it, it makes my toes black! I dont know where the dirt or black substance comes from, but it kind of got itself in between my toe nails and toes. I tried reaching and wiping, but honestly have no idea where the source is from since the tissue is not stained. This is one WEIRD problem. Anyone has the same issue? Mine is from shopbop.
 
I had this issue too. I wore them out once and got caught in a rain shower. When I got back home, my whole foot and toes were black. My two friends who were also wearing flats (cheaper flats too) had no stains or problems. I don't know how that happens.

Not only the shoes are bad quality , I have 3 tory burch handbags and each one has something bad in it, the first one its a roslyn satchel in hot pink, and the corners are turning WHITE! horrible, the second one the "glue" on the strap its coming off, same as the third one which is a perforated logo in red :( so sad because I own cheaper stuff but greater quality. Don't know if its worth the money, because believe me when I say I take care of my bags like crazy !
