Is Ralph Lauren made in China?

I figure I'll post answers to a few of the very common questions we get through our search box. This is one of the most common: is Ralph Lauren made in China?

Ralph Lauren is very transparent about its factories, and yes, out of 744 factories, 108 of them are in China.

They're actually moving in a positive direction. In 2019, 97% of its products were produced outside the US, with 33% from China. Most recently in 2025, it reported that 96% of its products are produced outside of the US, with 12% in China, 20% in Vietnam, and 16% in Cambodia.

The pattern is similar as with other brands: their higher end products (such as the Ralph Lauren and Ralph Lauren Purple Label Collections) are usually made in places like Italy or Portugal, but their "mass market" stuff is produced cheaply in Asia.

My best advice for buying Ralph Lauren or Polo branded products is to go to a brick and mortar store to check the label yourself.

The only online retailer I found who will SOMETIMES write "Made in" vs simply "Imported" is Bloomingdales. Try going to their search bar and typing "ralph lauren portugal" or "ralph lauren vietnam" and see if you can find results. Their search function is pretty shoddy, though, so I would still go the physical store route.
