Polo Dropping Vintage Gifts, Experiences for Holiday

Ralph Lauren has come up with a novel gift idea this year. Starting on Wednesday, shoppers who visit the Polo app will find an exclusive selection of holiday gifts titled 7 Days/7 Drops.

As the name suggests, the company is offering a selection of limited-edition product and one-of-a-kind experiences only available on the app for a week. The idea is to further engage with Polo fans by offering gifts that can’t be found anywhere else.

Day one will be vintage hand-painted Polo Bear shirts — only 15 unisex shirts will be available that were hand-painted by Thailand-based artist Cin, also known as WI-JITR. They will retail for $825 each.

The second day is Styling Session 9, an opportunity to work with a senior member of the Polo design team to create a look through a private session at one of the company’s stores in New York City or digitally over Zoom. The $2,500 experience includes a credit of that amount to spend on seasonal pieces as well as advice on integrating signature Polo looks into a wardrobe.

On day three, 20 men’s and 20 women’s vintage sweaters will be offered for sale for assorted prices. The sweaters were pulled from the Ralph Lauren archives and some were featured in past editorials, in runway shows or on TV shows like “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

Day four is a mixology master class, a private one-hour digital lesson hosted by Darnell Dodson, The Polo Bar’s master of libations who will teach up to four people the art of crafting cocktails including the restaurant’s signature Brown Derby, Prince of Wales and Old Fashioned drinks. The $2,800 gift includes snacks from The Polo Bar as well as a mixing glass set, cocktail shaker and three-piece bar tool set from the Ralph Lauren Home collection.

On day five, customers can create their own surfboard for $5,000 from 10 pre-selected Polo fabrics including plaids, checks and tartan patterns that will be created by industry veteran Josh Hall. On day six, 10 vintage turquoise jewelry pieces and belts from the brand’s jewelry collection will be offered for a variety of prices. And on the final day, the Five Horseman Print Skate Deck will be offered: a skateboard created from seven-ply North American maple and printed with the brand’s Five Horsemen graphic that was introduced in 1991. Only 45 decks will be offered and they’ll sell for $195 each.

Just ask a hardy band of mostly amateur Wall Street investors who have collectively made tens of millions of dollars over the past month by betting that the stock price of his social media business — Truth Social — will keep dropping despite massive buying by Trump loyalists and wild swings that often mirror the candidate’s latest polls, court trials and outbursts on Truth Social itself. Several of these investors

  • Florida's Bob Graham remembered as a governor, senator of the people

    Former Democratic Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham was remembered Friday by Republicans and Democrats alike as a man whose love for people and his state of Florida transcended partisanship, many of them smiling with memories of his five decades in politics as they passed by his casket in the historic old Capitol. A bouquet of white flowers sent by President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, was alongside the coffin, as Graham's wife, Adele, and four daughters greeted hundreds of mourners. “The true feeling of really loving him — that is something that has meant so much to so many people,” said one daughter, former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, during a private moment away from the crowd.
