Polo Ralph Lauren Performance / Apparel

Polo Ralph Lauren is the flagship brand of the Ralph Lauren Corporation, representing an iconic American lifestyle aesthetic that blends Ivy League heritage with classic sporting style. Since its inception in the late 1960s, the brand has become synonymous with the polo shirt and upscale casual wear, defining the 'preppy' look for a global audience.

While the brand's identity is deeply rooted in American culture, its manufacturing footprint is global. Ralph Lauren products are manufactured via a network of independent third-party partners. Production primary occurs in locations such as China, Vietnam, India, Cambodia, and Indonesia, though limited high-end collections may still see production in Italy or the United States. This distributed supply chain allows the brand to scale its diverse categories from technical fleece to formal tailoring.

Ownership of the brand remains under the Ralph Lauren Corporation, a publicly-traded entity headquartered in New York. The founder, Ralph Lauren himself, maintains significant influence and a substantial stake in the company. The corporation operates directly through various international subsidiaries to manage retail and distribution in major markets like Hong Kong, Europe, and Japan.
