Yes, it's the former Mr. Tory Burch who runs the company. I was super, super disappointed because at the end of the show he picked the ad agency run by a bunch of white guys just like him, instead of the (in my view) super-awesome women-owned agency.</p> <p>The store looked pretty cool, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/c-wonder-coming-to-sf-bay-area#post-857101 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:44:49 +0000 rachylou 857101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get their marketing letters, but to be honest I don't open them very often. I think I signed up because some of their iPhone cases caught my eye. They're preppy in that slicker-than-true-preppy way, which I guess is kind of what Kate Spade is. Suburban preppy, not Mayflower preppy.</p> <p>Mind, I'm not being down on the look here. I quite like Kate Spade. LOVED those original handbags of hers and the current kitten heel thing she's got going on.</p> <p>I didn't get the iPhone case because I felt more comfortable going with something designed by engineers as opposed to designers. Fashion is one thing, gear another. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/c-wonder-coming-to-sf-bay-area#post-857100 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:44:44 +0000 Kalli 857100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>C. Wonder is basically Tory Burch's ex husband's franchise. Seeing as he kind of stole her ideas... read about it here:</p> <p><a href="http://runway.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/01/agreement-announced-in-tory-burch-case/" rel="nofollow">http://runway.blogs.nytimes.co.....urch-case/</a></p> <p>I wouldn't be super excited about it. Although I am excited about reputable stores such as Splendid and Madewell :). My vote is against C. Wonder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/c-wonder-coming-to-sf-bay-area#post-857098 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:34:51 +0000 Kristin SF 857098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never heard of them before. Should be interesting.</p> <p>However, also coming to Santana Row this spring are Splendid and Madewell! I am SUPER excited, esp about Madewell! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/c-wonder-coming-to-sf-bay-area#post-857072 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:56:49 +0000 MsMaven 857072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are opening a store in Santana Row (opposite Valley Fair in San Jose/Santa Clara.)</p> <p>I've never heard of this company before. I did look at some online reviews and most were not complimentary. Supposedly they are a cross between Tori Burch and Kate Spade. </p> <p>Can you Fab folks enlighten me? </p>
