When was Polo Ralph Lauren founded?

Polo Ralph Lauren was founded in 1967.

The brand was established by Ralph Lauren, who began by designing and selling a line of men’s neckties under the name Polo Ralph Lauren. The company quickly expanded into menswear and later into womenswear, fragrances, home furnishings, and accessories, becoming one of the most influential American lifestyle brands.

In 1968, Polo Ralph Lauren introduced its first full menswear collection, and by the 1970s, the brand’s polo shirt with the iconic polo player logo had become a global fashion symbol.

If you need, I can also provide:

  • A concise brand timeline

  • An explanation of why the name “Polo” was chosen

  • A comparison between Polo Ralph Lauren and Ralph Lauren Purple Label for quality and positioning
