Fashion designers will often name their hit products after someone special to them: a friend, a sibling, a partner, a mentor. Tory Burch's Reva ballet flats were christened in honor of her mother. It was a gesture that would start a shoe revolution, one that would take the leather flats set with a golden logo medallion from its quiet 2006 debut to the set of Gossip Girl and the feet of Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway, even Oprah. Not to mention, legions of working women in big cities around the United States. In two years, Burch sold 250,000 pairs, per Footwear News. By 2013, she'd sold five million Reva flats.
But some good things need a break and a design refresh to keep up with the brand's evolution, no matter how beloved (or absolutely inescapable) they are. So Tory Burch officially paused Reva flat production in 2017. Just as fans started to miss them—and an overall Tory Burch renaissance, one that refreshed its entire aesthetic, was well underway—she brought the style back at the Spring 2025 runway held in September 204. Editors gasped; stylists took notes; everyone set a countdown to shop it once again. Now, as of April 17, the reimagined Reva is finally available to shop exclusively at SSENSE.
