Erin’s Closet: Fashion Disaster

Today I was a fashion disaster. I did the unspeakable. I wore Tory Burch with C. Wonder. I was practically a walking lawsuit. My red khakis agreed well with my black Tommy Hilfiger sweater, but my white C. Wonder button down and black Tory Burch flats could not have disagreed more.

The owners of Tory Burch and C.Wonder, Tory Burch and Christopher Burch, much like my disagreeing outfit, their marriage dissolved in 2006. The two previously owned Tory Burch together, but after the divorce their were many disputes as to who would rightfully own the successful store, now that the two were separated. In the end, Christopher Burch, owner of C.Wonder, ended up owning one third of Tory Burch, the rest belonged to Tory Burch herself.

A short while later, Christopher Burch opened up his own store, C.Wonder. C. Wonder uses a similar logo to the double T’s of Tory Burch. He uses a C created by the same people who designed the double T’s of Tory Burch. The merchandise sold at C.Wonder is all just cheap knock offs of the real items sold in Tory Burch. The color schemes of the stores are even the same. Both stores have signature items very similar in style. C.Wonder sells more home goods and accessories as opposed to Tory Burch known for her shoes and clothing lines.

Tory Burch is a 3.3 billion dollar company, which has been achieved in less than a decade. C.Wonder is only a 350 million dollar valuation. You can clearly see who the real winner is here. Tory Burch may even be the most influential women in fashion since Coco Chanel. From now on, I’ll stick with wearing just Tory Burch or just C.Wonder, never again mixing the two again.
