A Deep Red Makes a Striking Impression
The horse motif is known as a brand icon of Ralph Lauren. This elegant motif, inspired by "polo," a team sport played by Western gentlemen on horseback, has been cherished by many for years. For this Ralph Lauren collection, to celebrate the Year of the Horse, a special collection has been created that brilliantly captures the history of the brand's iconic equestrian design.
Selected from the traditional colors of Chinese New Year and the refined collection, the limited edition items sold in Japan are the "Soft Ricky" made of supple nappa leather. The "Ricky Bag," an iconic bag released in 2005, features a design inspired by the saddlebags used in the late 19th century to carry luggage attached to a horse's saddle. Its name was inspired by Ricky Lauren, designer Ralph Lauren's wife and muse. This special bag appears in a deep red color. The lineup includes three sizes of Ricky bags, as well as a long wallet. These items will be available at Ralph Lauren Omotesando and on the online site.
