Featuring hand-picked pieces from the brand’s exclusive archives and launching with its own e-commerce site American fashion house Ralph Lauren has revealed a new vintage line RL Vintage
“I am happy to welcome you to RL Vintage, a very personal experience for collectors who share my love of craftsmanship, patina, heritage and personal style,” said Ralph Lauren. “Since my childhood, I have been drawn to old things: faded workshirts, weathered jean jackets, military uniforms, Navajo blankets, handcrafted furniture, paintings, photographs and all kinds of vintage vehicles – from dented pickup to a bold Bugatti. I love their stories, each artist’s hand and their enduring style. These are the things that have inspired everything I do.”
This newest line will feature its own e-commerce site (www.rlvintage.com) allowing customers to shop and learn about pieces online alongside browsing iconic Ralph Lauren Products and voting which ones should be brought back into production.
RL Vintage, which will debut with The Western Collection featuring everything from hand-painted fringed jackets to a patchwork Prairie skirt, will select various pieces each season from the Ralph Lauren archive and curate them within a theme.
