What started out as a small company selling polo shirts to tennis players in 1952 has grown into a global brand inspired by music – our “subculture” - and the street. Whilst the range has expanded to include apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and children, the polo shirt remains at the core of what we do. Always at the heart of the brand is the Laurel Wreath – our symbol of success and excellence across all that we do.
