| | GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES | | Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation (Polo) designs, markets and distributes premium lifestyle products. Polo licenses the manufacturing of its products to companies worldwide. Capitalizing on the creative force of its founder, Ralph Lauren, the firm's various brand names have become recognizable cultural symbols across the globe. The firm offers four categories of lifestyle products: apparel products (including extensive collections of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing); home products (including bedding and bath products, furniture, fabric, wallpaper, paints, tabletop and giftware); accessories, including footwear, eyewear, jewelry, leather goods, handbags and luggage); and fragrance products (consisting of fragrances and skin care products). The company markets its products through department, specialty, golf and Polo Ralph Lauren stores, as well as via the Internet and mail order catalogs. The firm also offers wholesale products to upscale (and certain mid-tier) department stores, specialty stores and golf/pro shops worldwide. Its brands include Ralph by Ralph Lauren, Glamorous, Romance, Polo, Lauren for Men, Purple Label, Blue Label, Black Label, Lauren Jeans Co., Pink Pony and Polo Sport. It currently operates 163 Ralph Lauren, Caban and Rugby stores (as well as roughly 10,000 shops-within-shops) in North America, Japan, Europe and Latin America. Polo also operates Impact 21 stores in Japan. The company formed Ralph Lauren Media in a joint venture with NBC in order to reach consumers through various media outlets, including the Internet, television, cable and print. Its first initiative was the creation of Polo.com, a web site that brings products and information to consumers in an online magazine format. In 2009, Polo closed eight and opened 16 stores. In February 2009, the firm agreed to acquire direct control of its Southeast Asian retail and wholesale distribution operations from licensee Dickson Concepts International Limited at the beginning of 2010. |
