Tory Burch Releases An Exclusive Capsule Collection For The Middle East

The designer speaks exclusively to BAZAAR about why she loves women in the Middle East

To celebrate her long-standing love of the region, Tory Burch has designed a capsule collection of kaftans, available exclusively in the Middle East.

Comprised of four embellished floor-sweeping numbers, the capsule is currently on display at a Tory Burch pop-up experience at Level Shoes in The Dubai Mall until 13 November.

“I love women in the Middle East,” Tory Burch tells BAZAAR during her trip to Dubai. “Kaftans and tunics are in DNA. I just love the elegance of the way they look on women.”

“Middle Eastern women to me represent strength, resilience, super chic, taking risks with fashion. One thing I admire about Middle Eastern women as well is that they care about quality and craftsmanship. There’s about 300 hours of workmanship in each of the kaftans.”

Interpreting motifs from the Fall 2019 collection, four hand-made kaftans will be displayed at our #ToryBurchMiddleEast pop-up in the Dubai Mall from October 27th – November 13th before being gifted to #Esmod, one of Dubai’s most established fashion schools

“We worked with more jewel tones that resonate here. We’re very interested in continuing to offer capsule collections that are particularly in line for this region. Our design team loves working on it as well.”
