Ralph Lauren East Hampton Historical Society Collection
Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Charity
In celebration of Ralph Lauren’s relationship with the East Hampton Historical Society, the company is introducing a new collection of EHHS-branded apparel and accessories under the Polo label for Summer 2009, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Society. The new collection includes men’s waffle t-shirts; hooded sweatshirts and t-shirts adorned with archival imagery from the EHHS; baseball caps; and canvas beach totes (above). The trademark whale logo is a nod to the whaling industry that was an important component to the Hamptons‘ economy during Colonial times.
Beginning in June 2008, Polo Ralph Lauren announced that it would underwrite the ongoing restoration of the barns and landscape of the East Hampton Historical Society’s renowned Mulford Farm, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered one of America’s most significant, intact English Colonial farmsteads. Lauren’s support will allow the Society to complete its goal of restoring the estate to its former glory. The EHHS collection will be available online and at select Ralph Lauren stores.
