If you covet timeless pieces that only get better with age, do not miss the just launched site RL Vintage. Featuring a selection of pieces curated seasonally from the design archives by Ralph Lauren himself and paired with a lifestyle theme, the current collection is a nod to the American designer’s love of the West. Featuring such gems as a hand-painted lambskin jacket and a traditional Mexican serape coat, pieces from this collection are certain to provoke conversations about craftsmanship, heritage, and personal style. Visitors to the site are also invited to take part in the curation process by voting for special items that lovers of the Ralph Lauren brand want to “Bring Back”. The first article to vote for is the Polo Bear sweater. Lauren’s team is known to gift Ralph with a bespoke Steiff bear each year for the occasion of his birthday; it is then designed onto a sweater to be enjoyed by all.
Get there fast as the pieces are selling out quickly.
