Product Insights
This Polo Ralph Lauren throw merges the 1967 stripe pattern from its ties and rugby shirts with the 1991 Polo Bear mascot, continuing the brand's tradition of translating menswear symbols into home accessories. Its ultra-soft feel and heritage design come with a tradeoff: frequent washing can cause pilling and matting, requiring gentle care despite an easy-care label.
