“I’ve always loved Paris, even since I was very, very little,” says Tory Burch, welcoming Vogue into her Paris apartment. “I used to come with my parents. But I married a Frenchman, that’s why I’m here.”
The minute that Burch and her husband, Pierre-Yves Roussel, walked into this apartment, they knew it was the one. “We said: This is so beautiful. And we saw what it could be,” Burch says. The result is a home that blends chic eccentricity with fine craftsmanship, unexpected pairings, whimsy, and a host of sentimental objects that tell the story of Burch’s love for her family and friends. Here, Burch invites us into her home to share the story behind seventeen meaningful pieces for Vogue’s Objects of Affection video series.
“One of my favorite quotes by Hubert Givenchy is that Paris should feel collected, not decorated. And I think that kinda sums up how I feel about interior design,” Burch explains. When she saw two silk embroidered chairs at Givenchy’s auction, she knew they would be “an incredible starting point” for their Paris home.
“I love the embroidery, I love the history, and I certainly think he is the chicest man—maybe aside from my father—that ever existed,” she says.
As Burch takes us through the objects, they tell the story of her love for her husband and her family. There are first editions of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry—two of her favorite books—which her husband gifted her when they first started dating.
Also among the objects is another nod to their love story: a bronze apple by the artist Claude Lalanne. “It was when Pierre-Yves was thinking about moving to New York, so I wanted to get him something special. And of course, an apple represents New York. And so Claude Lalanne actually cast both our lips inside,” Burch says. The couple spent the day with Lalanne seeing how she worked, and it’s a memory they’ll always treasure, she says.
In her dressing room, Burch shows a trio of custom bangles inspired by one of her grandmother’s bracelets, which bear her sons’ nicknames. In another sentimental family piece, she shares a charm necklace that honors her parents. “My father had this gold Zippo made, and I turned it into a pendant. But I remember growing up, we weren’t allowed to touch it.” The lighter features soldered charms that nod to Burch’s family—their German shepherds, love of tennis, horses, and her father’s lucky number, 13. “This shows exactly who my father was,” Burch says. “He had the most exceptional style, and just did things in a very interesting, different way.”
