I like it but one of those damn sweaters is probably $200-$300.

Our Support​

Ralph Lauren is proud to partner with The Cottagers, Inc., a nonprofit organization comprised of 100 Black female homeowners on Martha’s Vineyard, to support building restoration, cultural preservation, and other community resilience efforts on the island. We worked closely with members of The Cottagers, The Martha’s Vineyard African American Heritage Trail, The Martha’s Vineyard Museum, The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture, and advisors at Morehouse and Spelman Colleges, among others, to source archival footage and historical knowledge—essential elements in telling the story of Oak Bluffs. In line with these efforts, Ralph Lauren is also pleased to continue its longstanding partnership with United Negro College Fund to support scholarships for students at HBCUs

@The ADD

The argument he's trying to make is Apples and Oranges. The market for Ralph Lauren apparel brands knows what the price points are ahead of the release of this line.
They've paid before, and they will pay again.

It would surprise me if the gentleman speaking doesnt own an RL, Polo, Purple Label article of clothing himself , and paid a pretty penny for it .

He is still developing the market for his line of clothing, and for now, its not the same set of people who would purchase this Oak Bluffs RL line.

I think that simplifies it at best and isn’t his point.

I feel his point is that his particular line was a collab with black cotton farmers paying them over market price goods. Despite that there were several comments about price point. RL comes in at double the price with no connection black cotton farmers and little to know comments. Why is that? You can’t get much more apples to apples than t-shirt…..

If his complaint is was about not selling vs RL I would see your argument.

Different sets of consumers. The people making comments under his videos are not necessarily the same people who will purchase this RL line.

He knows this.

Respect!


Ralph know the boulee/Jack and Jill’s will eat this up. But I admire him taking a chance and showcasing

Those pics look nice

However I wished we market our own people clothing sometimes instead of hyping up these big company brands where poor people will go broke or stay broke trying to look rich
