    How can I spot fake Ralph Lauren children's wear?
    Community Answer
    Make sure the stitching matches the color of the shirt. Observe the logo carefully and compare it to a true logo image.
  • Question
    I purchased a Ralph Lauren Polo hoodie from DXL, and the logo is on my right-hand side. Aren't the logos suppose to be on the left?
    Community Answer
    Yes. The logo on the Ralph Lauren hoodie is meant to be on the left-hand side (while you're wearing it), not the right.
  • Question
    Have Ralph Lauren ever produced men's short sleeved gingham shirts with a fabric content of 92% nylon and 8% elastane?

  • Question
    Bought a pair of polo Ralph Lauren shoes. They say 'made in China'. Is it real?

    The shoes are most likely real. The majority of Ralph Lauren items are designed and manufactured in China and Italy. China produces lower-end, less-expensive goods, so if the shoes cost less than $100, they are most likely real.

    I have an LRL satchel purse with no material fabrication listed on the label. Is this fake leather or just a fake bag?

    It's hard to say for sure, but most likely it's a scam. If you bought it from the actual store, you should be fine. If not, make sure to follow all of the steps above.
  • Question
    I purchased a Ralph Lauren shirt, and everything seems fine, but only one of the three tags inside is in English. The others are in Chinese.

    A lot of products are made in China, or they have an English label followed by Spanish, French, and Chinese. This doesn't mean it is fake.
  • Question
    I purchased a vintage Ralph Lauren handbag, but it has a green label "Made in Thailand." Is this fake?
    Community Answer
    No, it's real! That is where Ralph Lauren makes most of their items! You can't assume that because something is made in Thailand or China, for instance, it's fake, because that isn't always the case!
  • Question
    Has a Ralph Lauren Super Pony polo ever had the #4 stitched on the sleeve?
    Mariam Othman
    Community Answer
    Yes, some Ralph Lauren Super Pony polos have featured the #4 stitched on the sleeve. The number typically represents the player's position in polo, and while the #3 is more common for the Super Pony line, the #4 can appear on certain styles or limited editions. Checking the label or product details can help confirm the design.

    In a Lauren Ralph Lauren shirt, the date says 011014. Is this January 10, 2014, October 1, 2014, or October 14, 2001?

    Ralph Lauren is an American company, so the date format is MM/DD/YY(YY), indicating January 10, 2014.
  • Question
    How can I tell if my Ralph Lauren leather fringe coat is authentic? The tag is blue with the polo pony, and a white tag says "Made in Uruguay." There's also a small black tag with the number 8.
    ✝️ 🫶 Molly 🫶 ✝️
    Community Answer
    If it's authentic leather, it is likely an authentic Ralph Lauren coat, since Uruguay is one place where Ralph Lauren manufactures leather. If it's not authentic leather, it most likely isn't genuine, as the company prioritizes quality. You could also try doing a reverse image search on Google to be sure.
  • Question
    Do all Ralph Lauren shirts have a horse and rider logo? My shirt fits all the other requirements but doesn’t have a logo on the front.

    How can I spot a fake RLX Ralph Lauren Men's Performance 1/4 Zip pullover for golf?
    ✝️ 🫶 Molly 🫶 ✝️
    Community Answer
    Look for inconsistencies or flaws in the stitching and design, as Ralph Lauren is known for high quality control. If the quality is low, it is less likely to be genuine. Additionally, consider its age and usage, and try a reverse image search for verification.
  • Question
    I received a black handbag with RLL lining and a leather tag machined into the zipper pocket. Is it real or fake?

    Community Answer
    Check the tag to ensure it matches Ralph Lauren's information. You can also reverse image search the bag, check prices, and ask how much it was purchased for to determine its authenticity.
  • Question
    I recently bought a pair of Ralph Lauren shirts, and the label seems genuine as described, but both shirts have white button thread. Are they fake?
    ✝️ 🫶 Molly 🫶 ✝️
    Community Answer
    If the overall quality and price of the shirts don't raise concerns, they may not be fake. Check the quality of the stitching, as poor stitching is often a sign of counterfeit products.
  • Question
    I purchased a Ralph Lauren performance tracksuit. It has a printed label and a Chinese label inside on the left-hand side seam. Is this an indication of a fake?

    The tracksuit is likely fake, as genuine Ralph Lauren tracksuits typically do not include those kinds of labels.
