Collector's Notes
The sewn label identifies this as a piece made exclusively for Ralph Lauren Fragrances. That gives it a clear connection to the brand's fragrance promotional merchandise.
The Ralph Lauren name, embroidered polo player, and silver accented canvas design make this a good fit for someone collecting older fragrance merchandise or preppy fashion accessories.
The bright coral pink lining is a detail worth noticing. It gives the otherwise neutral ivory and silver bag a strong contrast when opened.
The yellow discoloration on the back is the part I would look at closely before buying. If that does not bother you, the rest of the tote presents cleanly and still has a crisp, useful shape.
