Tory Burch Just Released a Bag Version of Its Viral Pierced-Toe Mules, and We're Obsessed
Can you say sell out?

The easiest way to spot a future sellout is to look to the past and use what you find to make educated predictions. It's kind of my specialty, and I'm very rarely wrong. Right now, I'm foreseeing major success for a particular handbag. It's practically guaranteed to go viral. Just wait and see.
The bag in question is Tory Burch's recently released Pierced Handbag, which arrived just a few seasons after the brand saw multiple shoe versions make it big. There's the Pierced Mule, the Pierced Slingback, the Pierced Pump, and the Pierced Mule Wedge. A slide iteration was also recently released this summer, and guess what happened. Fashion people everywhere snatched pairs up, of course. Now that the brand's iconic detail has hit the handbag world, it's sure to follow suit.
The Pierced Handbag—which comes in two sizes, the original medium version and a smaller iteration—debuted on the runway at Tory Burch's S/S 25 show back in September 2024 at the Domino Sugar Refinery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. At the brand's next show at MoMA for F/W 25, a number of celebrities in attendance carried the Pierced Handbag, including The Summer I Turned Pretty star Lola Tung, Amanda Seyfried, and Charlotte Lawrence.
Finally, after months of waiting patiently for the bags to arrive on Tory Burch's website, they're here, and as expected, many are falling hard and fast for their unique shape and appearance. Both are shoulder bags, with the larger version coming in suede, pebbled leather, smooth leather, and even a leopard-print calf-hair style. The smaller of the two is available (for now) in just two colors, black and red.
Not only is the Pierced Handbag unlike any other bag on the market right now—a rare occurrence in fashion these days—but it's also more affordable. I'm not saying $1050 is affordable, per se, but when you compare it to designer bags that cost upward of $5000, it's far more accessible. The smaller option is $730 and made of genuine leather from a tannery that's certified by the Leather Working Group, an organization that supports high standards in leather manufacturing and chemical management (score).
