My Favorite Things

Tory Burch has the Midas touch. Since debuting her now ubiquitous ballet flats, in 2004, the Pennsylvania-raised designer, entrepreneur, and mother has created a multi-billion-dollar empire with the sole aim of supporting women, be it through her collections of contemporary classics, which hearken back to the heyday of American fashion, and playfully feminine activewear line or her nonprofit foundation and annual Embrace Ambition summits. Here, Burch reveals the items she can’t live without—and the gift she never tires of receiving.

Tory Burch

$348

Love Letters Pendant Necklace

“I have always been fascinated by good luck charms. My father was superstitious, too, and carried gold lucky dice in his pocket, which inspired our Love Letters necklace; it has six interchangeable dice with gold letters and symbols, so you can create your own monogram.”

Charvet

$800

Elysee Striped Cotton-Poplin Nightdress

“The Charvet nightshirt is ideal for anyone. The cotton is perfection, and you can wear it to sleep or even to the beach.”

Claire McCardell

$23.24

What Shall I Wear?

“Claire McCardell’s book is as charming and relevant today as it was in 1956. She created the ‘American Look’ and made an impact on how we all dress. I was thrilled to write the foreword for this new edition. I love her approach to helping women dress for themselves and feel confident.”

Westman Atelier

$48

Lit Up Highlight Stick

“I have a less-is-more approach to makeup and skin care. Gucci Westman understands this and creates products that are good for your skin. Her Lit Up Highlight Stick gives a natural glow.”

The Row

$1,290

Woven Leather Slingback Mule Pumps

“These woven mules strike the right balance of minimal and organic, and they are insanely comfortable.”

Line Vautrin

$4,850

Palm Brooch in Talosel Resin and Glass

“Line Vautrin is one of my favorite jewelry designers. She was fiercely independent; metalworking was a very atypical career for women in the 1930s.”

Marie-Chantal

$549

MC’s Classics Gift Set

“Marie-Chantal’s knit sets are made in the most beautiful cashmere and are the perfect present for newborns.”

Apple

$549

AirPods Max

“The ultimate present for anyone who loves listening to music or podcasts. The sound is unmatched.”

Tory Burch

$1,198

Marshmallow Satchel

“My new everyday bag. We called it the Marshmallow because it is lightweight and ultra-soft, and it has room for absolutely everything.”

Frog Hollow Farm

$52.99

Organic Fruit Gift Basket

“I love getting in-season fruit as a present.”
