Tory Burch LLC (formerly TRB by Tory Burch), known as Tory Burch, is a fashion label owned and launched by designer Tory Burch. ==History== Tory Burch began her fashion label – "TRB by Tory Burch", later known as "Tory Burch" – in February 2004, launching it with a retail store in Manhattan's Nolita district.〔Agins, Teri. "How Tory Burch Found Her Stride". ''Wall Street Journal''. February 1, 2008.〕 Most of the inventory sold out on the first day.〔 When Oprah Winfrey endorsed her line on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'' in April 2005, calling Burch "the next big thing in fashion", Burch's website received eight million hits the following day. Since launch, the company has grown to include 160 Tory Burch stores worldwide, including flagships in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Rome, Tokyo and Seoul, and ecommerce sites in seven languages.〔 * * * * *〕 The company’s Shanghai flagship, which launched in 2014, is its largest.〔 The fashion line, which encompasses ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, accessories, watches, home decor, and a fragrance and beauty collection, is also carried at over 3,000 department and specialty stores worldwide, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's, as well as Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Galeries Lafayette, Lane Crawford and Isetan. In 2009, Burch sold a minority stake in her company to a Mexican private equity firm, Tresalia Capital. Additional minority investors were added in December 2012 in conjunction with the settlement of a legal dispute between Burch and her ex-husband. This settlement is said to have removed a substantial obstacle to a forthcoming IPO, which has been the subject of considerable discussion in the financial and fashion industries.〔Steigrad, Alexandra.
