Tory Burch Valentine’s Day Interview and Giveaway

Friday, February 12th, 2010

We brought you news of the Tory Burch and Leanna Shapton Valentine’s Day Collaboration. And after sharing the items with you, we thought it would only be fitting to feature an exclusive interview with famed fashion designer Tory Burch. Not only do we find out more about the collaboration, but we have the pleasure of getting a peek into the personal life of Tory Burch.

Tory Burch was able to find a few minutes in her hectic schedule and answer some questions exclusively for PurseBlog. Along with that, Tory Burch will be giving away two items from the line below. Remember to shop the Tory Burch Valentine’s Day Collaboration via Tory Burch online!

Tory On The Collaboration

1) Tell us about your Valentine’s Day Collaboration with renowned artist Leanne Shapton.

Leanne’s work is so provocative and smart, and I’ve long been a fan of hers. We wanted to work with her and asked her to create an exclusive print for us for our first Artists’ Collaboration series. She designed a charming lip print and a beautiful version of our logo. They’re featured on pajamas, a great tote and two makeup bags.

2) What would be the perfect gift from the Tory Burch line to give for Valentine’s Day?

Leanne’s pieces are definitely great ideas, especially the red lipstick print. I also love our colorful heart sandals and wristlets—they’re chic and charming. I also think jewelry and accessories, like one of our statement necklaces or a luxurious tote is a great way to get into the spirit of Valentine’s Day.

3) What was your most memorable Valentine’s Day?

I loved Valentine’s Day with my father. He used to write poems for all of us.

4) How do you plan to spend Valentine’s Day this year?

With the same young men I spend every Valentine’s—my three boys.

Tory On Tory Burch

1) What is your go-to handbag?

My go-to bag right now is our McLane tote. It’s done in a rich, slouchy leather with a gold chain, which is a cool combination. It’s one of our bigger styles, so I can carry my notebook and Kindle.

2) What can we expect in the near future from the Tory Burch handbag line?

Accessories is so important for us and we’ve had a great response from our customers. We’re definitely going to continue to grow the collection.

3) What are the three must-have bags from your own line? And why?

Our Bijou tote—navy is such a chic, versatile color. Our Carson Mini Bag is a great, modern shape and the perfect bag for day. Some of the women in our office wear it across their body like a messenger. Our Tevin mini bag is the quintessential day bag. It goes with everything, whether you’re wearing a boucle suit or jeans and a T-shirt.

Gustto Large Estola  BagFor all of you who follow celebs and handbags as much as we do, you’ve noticed that Gustto handbags are making their way to the forefront of many magazines. I feel like more times than not, I turn my head and I see a celeb carrying a Gustto handbag. I was lucky enough to meet with some of the Gustto staff a couple months ago back in San Diego and I can’t wait to continue to bring you great news about Gustto - I am sure you’ll be as happy as I am! Gearing up to that, check out the great Valentine’s Day answers Agathe, the creative director of Gustto had to share with us!

Being from France, are there different traditions when it comes to Valentine’s Day there than here? Valentine’s Day is, universally, about “l’amour” – spending time with the person you love. Traditions are the same in France, and with the French in America! One tradition my husband and I have is to wake up together and have breakfast in bed – we like croissants and fresh-squeezed orange juice, sometimes a mimosa! We also make that day our own; we turn off our Blackberries and just make the day about us.

Do you treat yourself to something special on Valentine’s Day? It’s always nice to indulge on Valentine’s Day! Sometimes my girlfriends and I will go out for lunch or spa treatments, anything that is relaxing and stress-free. I like wine or chocolate, too – even a little makes me feel spoiled.

What is the best way to be pampered on Valentine’s Day? Spa services are the best way. Getting a massage, a manicure or pedicure and a facial are all great ways to relax during the day and get ready for a fun, sexy date at night. Beauty treatments make you feel alluring and glamorous, the way a slinky cocktail dress, soft leather bag, or sky-high stilettos do. That’s the best way to feel for a romantic night out. Or in!

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day this year? Ask my husband! (Giggles.) Actually, since Valentine’s is on a weekend this year, we’re booking a hotel and spa package, complete with a couples’ massage, dinner, champagne and some rose petals on the bed. We’re both incredibly busy working and it will be great to enjoy that weekend together.

What is the best Gustto gift for Valentine’s Day, why? The gift of her dreams will be a bag that is gorgeous and classic, like Gustto’s Large Parina or Setela in fuchsia, from the Fabulous Classics Collection. Something timeless and beautiful is the best gift, because it’s a surprise that the woman receiving it will wear every day and be reminded of that amazing moment.

See by Chloe Bags

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I am all for See by Chloe clothing. It is more fitting for me and my lifestyle. More simple, more casual, and mostly, more affordable. And just recently I brought you the adorable See by Chloe Key chains that I really like! Cute, almost bordering on too cute, but the perfect little accessory. So […]

A one way ticket, yeah!

As excited as I was for See by Chloe, the actual bags have been a bit anti-climactic. They′re cute, for sure, but not that “ohmygoddoIhavetopickjustone?” feeling I had hoped for.
I do have a fondness, however, for this Day Tripper shoulder bag.

I am a sucker for this shade of blue. It’s eye catching, always looks fresh, and is about as versatile as a bright can be. I love it with the black trim, for the retro mod-punk feel.
The shape is sort of a modified, soft doctor’s satchel, and it’s pretty wide at the bottom. 2 outer pockets that open with gold zippers give a fun detail, and an extra place to stash stuff. You’ll also find a magnetic pocket on the rear.. The inside, with 19 inches of length is spacious enough to hold anything.
There is a top zipper, and when your arm gets tied, there is a long shoulder strap you can attach.
The Day Tripper will run you $695…not bad for a fun bag that can take you anywhere you need to go!
Get yours from Shopbop.
