Tory Burch hosted an intimate celebration at the brand’s flagship store on Mercer Street, marking the debut of a limited-edition capsule collection that continues the playful spirit of photographer Walter Schels’ iconic cat prints, first introduced in the Resort 2024 collection. The evening brought together fashion and philanthropy in a quintessential New York setting.
