Ralph Lauren Apparel and Fragrances

Ralph Lauren is a global powerhouse in the luxury lifestyle sector, representing classic American styling and sophisticated design. Founded in 1967, the brand began with a line of men's ties under the 'Polo' name and eventually expanded into a full range of high-end apparel, accessories, home goods, and fragrances.

While the brand is rooted in the United States, its manufacturing is highly globalized. Ralph Lauren products are manufactured in multiple countries, including Italy, China, Vietnam, India, Turkey, and Indonesia, depending on the specific product line and material requirements. High-end collections like 'Purple Label' are frequently produced in Italy to leverage traditional craftsmanship.

The brand remains under the ultimate control of the Ralph Lauren Corporation. While the fashion and apparel divisions are managed directly, the brand's fragrance line is managed through a long-standing licensing agreement with L'Oréal, which handles the development and distribution of Ralph Lauren scents internationally.
