It’s always so exciting when a world famous designer visits Dubai. So when Tory Burch herself rocked up, we had our fingers and toes crossed she might do something special to celebrate her visit, and that she did. Inspired by the chic and sophisticated women she met during her time in our region, Tory created an exquisite collection of limited edition handbags.
Beautifully crafted in genuine alligator leather, the bag range includes the Robinson Envelope Clutch and the Robinson Double Zip Tote. Available in an array of four rich tones – Tiger Lily, Fuchsia, Emerald and Ultramarine – the colours were taken from natural elements found across the world, and represent the vibrant multicultural population of Dubai.
Handmade by Italian artisans, just outside of Florence in Italy, each bag shows off the expert craftsmanship you’d expect from a designer bag. It is created by five people over eight hours. Setting these exquisite pieces apart from other bags in the designer/high end realm is their luxurious textures combined with solid brass fittings and saturated colours– a signature of the Tory Burch brand.
Awarded Accessory Designer of the Year in 2008, Tory Burch is also known as one of the world’s most powerful women by Forbes magazine. A dominant figure in the world of accessories, celebrities and fashion lovers alike love her self-named brand. So no wonder she is estimated to be worth US$1 billion dollars.
When she’s not being a fashion extraordinaire, Tory also makes time to give back, having set up The Tory Burch Foundation in 2009, which helps the economic development of underprivileged women and families. With that in mind it doesn’t surprise us that this month, when you purchase one of the Robinson bags, five per cent of each sale will go to charity. So get snappy and invest in a beautiful bag while supporting a wonderful cause.
