I AGREE. RL believes that the pathway forward is the luxury customer that is willing to pay full price. I was watching the RL Spring 2025 fashion show. It was held in the Hamptons and the audience was full of elites from every facet of society (fashion, music, sports. etc.) There were no...

Clearly, reports of the Ralph Lauren brand's demise were greatly exaggerated. Many people in this thread thought that the brand was on life support the past few years but the old man still has some tricks up his sleeve; dressing Taylor Swift, the queen of the "It Girls" was a win as well as...

HOLIDAY

I thought it was just me : I stopped going to Macy's Gucci Louis Vuitton Tiffanys because as soon as you walk through the door security does not make you feel welcome. The red jackets in Macys get nervous if you even walk by the RL section. I was determined to be a one man boycott of the brands...

In my opinion, RL has probably anticipated this development for a long time. Online transactions are accounting for most of Macy's sales so they don't need a lot of physical brick and mortar locations. Direct to consumer is the way forward and at the RL stockholders meeting they presented a...

Thanks!

FRIENDS, I started a Poshmark account to move some RL items. The very first item I listed was red flagged by Poshmark as a fake/counterfeit item! (It was a legit item I purchased from the RL store in the Beverly Center BNWT). Has anyone else had this happen to them? I used to sell on Ebay but...

FRIENDS, Me and my wife are travelling to Honolulu, Hawaii in a few weeks. Does anyone know what the RL shopping scene is like? Also, if you can recommend any fly thrift/consignment stores, I would be very grateful. Have a great day and thanks in advance for any intel!

Chanel, Hermes, Gucci and LV raise their prices once a year (sometimes twice a year). All of them employ the same reason: to preserve brand prestige. In other words, they want to price out the riff raff. RL has clearly and loudly proclaimed at investor meetings that they are positioning the...

It's the prices for me and that's why I've cut spending or elevated to luxury brands; hoodie prices with tax are beginning to hover around $200 and that's ridiculous. Besides, I have so much Lo in storage BNWT that I really don't need anything. When I go to my local factory store in L.A. the...

Bruh, I just saw your post! :lol: I actually copped for her the Spelman beret and the Spelman polo bear sweater so that she can be Lo fresh. I don't know if she will take her polo bear comforter to school though! :lol: I graduated from Virginia Union but I might cop some Morehouse Lo gear.

This info is gold! Thank you! What is the best Macys/Bloomingdales?

ATLANTA HEADS, What's good? I am taking my daughter to Spelman College this upcoming weekend for incoming freshmen. Is there a decent RL outlet in the area ? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Thanks for your input , Lo! I will probably skip the outlets and shop when I return home to L.A.

My flight lands at Sacramento airport AND my event is in Lodi. Which one is closest? Folsom or Vacaville?
