The emblematic Ralph Lauren is putting us back in the saddle this fall with a new family of accessories strongly imbued with the brand’s heritage as a polo player.
The equestrian world is once once more honored by the American brand created in 1967 at the instigation of the New York visionary Ralph Lauren, born Ralph Lifschitz. If it all started with a line of ties, quickly embellished with the famous polo shirt in multiple colors, the label’s elegant and functional wardrobe has since grown to include a range of handbags, small leather goods, shoes and belts in the name of Polo ID.
Heritage and symbol over the shoulder
Presented through a campaign tinged with adventure and romance, the four models of Polo ID handbags reveal the equestrian universe specific to Ralph Lauren with a detail that hits the mark. A pretty brass plate serving as a clasp on which is cut the “Pony Player” or polo player. A spirit of optimism and escape that can be found in the Polo ID shoulder bag, the largest in the collection. It sports a roomy two-compartment saddle silhouette with a suede interior design. Its adjustable strap with curved finishes allows it to be worn comfortably under the shoulder or to put on in adventure mode before setting off for new urban adventures!
Taking the same silhouette, the mini Polo ID shoulder bag features a strap that allows it to be carried either on the shoulder or in the hand, such as a pretty and practical pouch in the shape of a crescent moon or a Chinese fortune cookie. Something to carry good fortune — or good luck — with you all day long. What more ? If not to complete its Polo ID collection with a magnetic zipped messenger bag in the shape of a drop of water or an elegant envelope clutch in chain and leather, with domed finishes and tone-on-tone topstitching.
Ralph Lauren never doing things by halves, each of these models is available in a range of different colors and materials ranging from red to black, cream to camel, without forgetting leather and suede.
