Once upon a time, military cavalry units needed training, and an engaging sport was developed…
…called polo. Dating back to Persia in the early centuries, it developed from battle training to an activity undertaken only by noblemen and women. The strength and dignity of this patrician form of play came to influence Ralph Lauren’s choice of House mascot in the 1970s, and so today we find the aristocratic athlete featured throughout the Player homeware collection from Ralph Lauren Home, with the motif embroidered atop the soft cotton pieces using 1500 individual stitches.
