In its infancy, Tory Burch revolutionized the contemporary market, filling a need for sleek, coveted pieces at an accessible price point. And while the Tory Burch of yesteryear was known for its logo medallions, plastered on cult-favorite pieces like sandals, handbags, and jewelry, today, the label and its namesake founder continue to prove that today’s Tory Burch is completely different.
The Tory Burch Renaissance Is Here
In the 2020s, Tory Burch is having a major renaissance, and its timing is especially poignant, given the need for sleek, stylish pieces at an accessible price point. Few handbags epitomize Tory Burch’s next era like the cult-favorite Romy, which debuted in early 2025.
Defined by its quiet appeal and understated medallion button engraved with the iconic double T logo, the Romy debuted as a chic bucket bag, offering a more minimal take on classic Tory Burch. The Romy was an instant hit.
The Romy Is the It Bag of Tory Burch’s Next Chapter
Fast forward to later that spring, and an incredibly chic, oversized hobo bag joined the Romy family—proving that good style—and a great bag—can be found under $500. Then, last fall, the perfect suede shoulder bag joined the Romy lineup, cementing the Romy family’s permanent place in the Tory Burch lineup and proving that Tory Burch is more than just its signature prep and classic American style.
This season, Tory Burch is back yet again to entice us with a brand-new Romy bag, and it feels as classically chic as ever. Let’s take a look!
Meet the New Romy Bauletto
Joining the now-iconic Romy family of bags is the Romy Bauletto. A cross between a bowling bag and a classic open-topped shopper tote, the Romy is defined by its round silhouette and dual top handles. Its clean lines are further accented by a thin, loosely knotted, belted strap, lending an effortless cool-girl air.
The Romy Bauletto, which translates to “small trunk” or “little chest” in Italian, is the perfect everyday bag, designed to tote all the essentials and more. It arrives in three sizes: small, classic, and large, with the largest model offering longer shoulder straps that allow for shoulder carry.
The classic size is spacious enough to hold even a laptop and a water bottle, while the biggest size will take you from work to play and beyond—allowing for a change of clothes or an extra pair of shoes.
Arriving in classic pebbled leather, embossed croc, and luxe suede, there’s a perfect size and color combination for everyone, each equally refined. Prices start at $395 for the small and go up to $595 for the large.
So. it’s Margaux but more affordable? LOVE IT
I have the Romy tote in suede. Reminds me of the popular Coach Empire.

Dare we say… Marguax, Empire, Liffner, Manu Atelier, Miu Miu-adjacent? Oh, Saint Laurent. And this is when they decide to come out with it
