Brand heritage

Ralph Lauren founded Polo in New York in 1967 and built it into one of the best-known names in classic American style. The "Polo Classic" eyewear line of the 1980s and 1990s, with its numbered models such as the Classic VI, is now sought after by vintage eyewear collectors for its traditional round and panto shapes and detailed metalwork.
