Sr. Associate, Public Relations

We are an American luxury lifestyle brand, founded in 2004.

Empowering women is the company's guiding principle, expressed through Tory's collections and reflected in the company culture as well as the work of the Tory Burch Foundation. Established in 2009, the Foundation provides women entrepreneurs in the United States with capital, education and community.
