Those shoes would be much more versatile (and IMO, lovely) without the logo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-406359 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:46:46 +0000 modgrl 406359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@MaryK, They're my dad's initials too. I don't use the key fob that came with my MK handbag but I really enjoy having it because it reminds me of him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-406356 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:44:39 +0000 MsMary 406356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Aida and Kari. To me it looks like a big shiny non-logo medallion, and I, uh, like shiny things.</p> <p>And I am totally jonesing for a Michael Kors bag because his initials are my initials! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-406166 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:29:17 +0000 Kari 406166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually *didn't* know that it was the Tory Burch logo. Like Aida suggested, I thought it was just a medallion. Not to my taste, but not awful. The initial logos (like you see on Coach bags) are not my favorite - on me, they would feel pretentious. That's not a judgment against those that like logo bags or feel differently, though - just not my personal cup of tea.<br /> I am not crazy about wearing anything with a large logo - I was a little self-conscious about a Michael Kors top I have because the logo was printed (very small) on it. I don't mind people thinking that I take care to dress well, but to me being logo/brand-conscious is a tad overboard for the image that I want to convey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-406066 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:34:02 +0000 Sona 406066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tory burch reva flats in back patent and the medallion is in self black patent too so its not obvious at all. I love my reva's and they are super comfy.<br /> These would look great with a less blingy medallion, I agree. But you may want to try them on 'in real life' and give them a whirl? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405979 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:11:44 +0000 Aida 405979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, to be honest, if I didn't know that was the Tory Burch logo I would think the shoe was great. It just looks like a medallion. I find this type of logo incorporation MUCH less intrusive than most! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405923 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:59:15 +0000 Isabel 405923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also not a logo person. Or conspicuous hardware for that matter. But she made her millions starting with those flats, just like Coach exploded with all the logo merchandise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405783 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 18:50:53 +0000 Freckles 405783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know who Tory is and wouldn't know her logo if I fell on it. I liked shoe decorations in their day and find this one really quite beautiful.</p> <p>If I squint my eyes it looks celtic to me and anything celtic makes my heart pitter patter.</p> <p>Now that I know it's a logo ick ick ick (unless of course it's my hockey team!).</p> <p>How's that for talking out from the other side of my face? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405762 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 18:27:31 +0000 bj1111 405762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"because my sales niche has more money than taste." -- TB</p> <p>although i do love her kaftans...great for key west. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405716 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:15:02 +0000 cjh 405716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This logo and this shoe are really relatively pretty. But the discussion reminds me of what my mom used to say (possibly to taint our young delicate minds against high-end/price clothing choices) that a company who puts their brand name on the clothes so others can read it ought to give it away as free advertising. HA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405695 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:45:25 +0000 Auburn 405695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a Tory Burch devotee. The logo doesn't bother me at all and, in fact, comes in a bigger version on her flats (the infamous Revas) and some of the wedges. However, she makes many styles of shoe without the gilded logo as well. And very little of her clothing is so obviously marked as Tory Burch. I fall into the camp of feeling like the gold stamp makes a basic flat a bit more dressy and the aesthetics of this particular logo are appealing to me (vs. the Coach "c" print which I've never liked). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405693 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:43:30 +0000 rachylou 405693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. That *is* kinda big. But look at it this way, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it was a logo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405678 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:06:51 +0000 Lynne 405678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lovely shoes! The colour of the leather is a really warm timber colour. To my eye, the logo is fine, but I do have a high bling tolerance :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405663 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:50:12 +0000 Mo 405663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's up there with all the Coach hooplah to me - I just don't get it. I have started taking brand tags off of some of my pants and shorts, especially if they are a bright color or large. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405658 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:44:21 +0000 Diana 405658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shoes actually, although I'd prefer if the medallion were not an obvious logo. The Tory logo is getting too ubiquitous for my taste but I actually think it is rather tasteful as far as logos go. </p> <p>I have an old Kenneth Cole Reaction purse with a logo that is like 4 lowercase "r"s in a circular/squarish configuration, and I keep getting asked if it is a Tory Burch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405654 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:32:47 +0000 rae 405654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH yes, people wear them. There are so many brands plastered all over SoCal, it's ridiculous. TB isn't that bad, as the logo at least isn't a giant set of initials, but some people out here won't buy anything unless it has a logo - real or not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405653 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:21:07 +0000 Nakidra 405653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, people actually do! I have to say that I love my Tory flats even with the giant logo. I look at it as jewelry for my feet and I coordinate from there. It's not everyone's style, but I make it work. </p> <p>Those shoes are wonderful BTW!! love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405650 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:18:02 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 405650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blech, not a fan of ostentatious branding. Ruins an otherwise lovely shoe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405649 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:15:30 +0000 DressLover 405649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After she sold a million Revas, she started putting huge logos on everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tory-burch-why-the-giant-medallion#post-405643 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:07:16 +0000 modgrl 405643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do people actually wear shoes with a GIANT logo on the front?
