Is Ralph Lauren made in China real or fake?

Whether Ralph Lauren made in China is real or fake varies. Ralph Lauren does produce many of its pieces in factories located in China, so seeing "Made in China" on a label doesn't automatically mean that an item is counterfeit.

One way to assess the authenticity of Ralph Lauren pieces is to compare the brand label and wash tags to images shared on trusted online resources. You can also consult a certified appraiser or expert authenticator. Find a collection of Ralph Lauren apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
