About Ralph Lauren Sunglasses
It's All In the Name!
Ralph Lauren has come a long way since his humble beginnings in fashion 40 some years ago. He was born Ralph Lipshitz in 1939 to a middle-class Jewish family and was the youngest of four boys. He had a keen fashion sense ever since he was a child, and always tried to buy the best that he could afford with the proceeds from his after school jobs. Though he does have a great eye for fashion, he never received any formal training, opting for business school over fashion design. He began the company Polo Fashions in 1968, with $50K and some tie designs.
Ralph expertly guided his company upwards in the ranks of the fashion world and what began as a line of wide, opulent ties, soon evolved to include men’s shirts and suits, then women’s clothing, followed by his home line in the ‘80’s with sheets, towels and furniture, as well as accessories, including his world famous sunglasses.
Ralph Lauren sunglasses are synonymous with style. His collections have some of the most beautiful and fashion forward designs on the market, as well as the timeless classics. Shapes run from the traditional cat’s eye, square, aviator, oversize, oval, butterfly, rounded, and wraparound. There is even a style named after his wife Ricky. The finishes run from traditional to whimsical. You can choose from yellow tortoise, antique tortoise, black, amber, honey, light horn, metal, red, and brown and fun colors and patterns like red or green tartan, hounds tooth, and hot pink. Embellishments range from cut outs to metallics, and while the name of the company is always somewhere, it can range from a bold Ralph on the arm, to a discreet RL on the side of the glasses.
