Ralph Lauren Polo and South African Polo are two different brands owned by two different companies and they are not afiliated to each other. The Ralph Luaren Polo is an international brand by an American designer and the South African Polo is locally owned by L.A. Group LTD.

Here’s the story……

The Ralph Luaren logo is a world famous trademark with a mounted polo player and horse but the mark has been registered in South Africa by the L.A. Group which defeated an atempt by Ralph Lauren to reclaim the mark in 1977 under the old law which recognized only geographical rights. Many South African consumers don’t know the difference between the two and they believe they are buying thefamous Ralph Luaren Polo brand.

The Accessorie’s Accessory: Nato/Zulu Watch Straps

I’ve always thought that some pieces, particularly Time Pieces, should not be altered in any way or else they lose their charm or their sophistication….. well, I WAS WRONG!!!! Check these NATO/ZULU watch straps, I now strongly feel that every watch owner needs to have a pair of interchangable straps. Unfortunately these are not available in South African stores but im sure for us seeking to bring a whole lot of life to our old pieces, we will make a way to get strapped!!
