02 / Company & ownership
Behind the brand.
Ralph Lauren is the American luxury-lifestyle company founded in 1967, with related labels including Polo Ralph Lauren, Ralph Lauren Collection, Purple Label, Double RL and Lauren Ralph Lauren. This dossier covers the main fashion brand family; Ralph Lauren Home has its own dossier and should remain distinct for home-focused recommendations. Some categories, including eyewear, fragrances and home furnishings, are made and sold through named licensees, so authenticity checks should use the exact label, seller and category.
