Today’s shout-out goes to American brand Ralph Lauren. Their collections are trendy classic, varied yet signature, inclusive, and iconic. The brand minimizes their impact on the environment with sustainable materials, chemical management, and responsible design. I rediscovered the brand last year and am thankful I did. I’m a fan of their quality, fits, designs, refinement, natural fibres, and absolutely superb customer service. Ralph Lauren has become a go-to brand of mine. Shipping and returns are fast and easy too.
The roundup includes Ralph Lauren items that can be bought at a discount if you subscribe to their email alerts. I usually receive a 25% discount on the items that I buy, which takes the edge off the pricier items. Be sure to browse the colour and size options.
