Womenswear designer Burch purchases Southampton mansion

Famed womenswear designer Tory Burch has reportedly purchased the Howard Grittis mansion at 500 Ox Pasture Lane in Southampton. Sources say that the mansion was originally marketed with an adjacent parcel of land, but that broker Tim Davis, a senior managing director at the Corcoran Group, split up the land for the sale. Although it’s unclear how much Burch paid for the estate, reports say that the mansion and the adjacent lot — which was purchased by a different buyer — sold for a combined $40 million.
