Ralph Lauren Create Your Own Collection Review + Giveaway

The iconic Ralph Lauren pony is now optional. That’s right, the brand is switching it up and giving you the design power with the Create Your Own Collection. Polos, Oxford button downs, cardigans and dresses are now available for customization.

Create Your Own Collection

Available exclusively at RalphLauren.com, every piece is made to order to your liking. The process is very simple with surprising amount of customization available. I personalized a polo for my son – here’s the quick process.

1. Decide if you want to customize with a Monogram or Pony Color
2. Pick Shirt Size, Shirt Color and Embroidery Color
3. Select Your Monogram and Font – there are 12 monogram options!

Before ordering, you can preview your design to make sure it suits your liking. The photo to the right is the preview of my son’s shirt.

Personalized Polo

Creating a Boy’s Polo for my son was very a quick and easy process. I picked a Navy short sleeved polo with white letters for the chest. I was very surprised by how many monogram options were available, but I opted for the Classic 3 Letter monogram.

The monogram replaces the traditional pony on the chest which has moved to the bottom left side of the polo. When the shirt arrived, it did look exactly like the preview, but I was surprised by how small the monogram actually is. I’m not sure if the monograms are different sizes for different shirt sizes, but I wish it was larger on my son’s size 4T shirt.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… Nothing beats the iconic Ralph Lauren pony. Except my son’s monogram. I love personalized and customized things for my kids and it’s awesome that Ralph Lauren is making it easy. You get the Ralph Lauren quality made just for your tot.

Or Not to Buy… I wish the monogram was larger and I have to say that when looking up close the monogramming isn’t particularly neat and is almost sloppy looking. But, as you can see in the photo it looks fine.

Shop! The Boys Polo we created is $34.50 (including personalization). Check out the entire Create Your Own Children’s Collection at RalphLauren.com.
