Further readings and sources:
- Ralph Lauren is noted for nautical themes, seafaring motifs, and rugged beauty like that found on the coastal landscape of Ireland’s Aran Islands. The Aran Isles are at the mouth of Galway Bay on the west coast of Ireland at the mercy of the relentless Atlantic Sea. The Islanders were fishermen and farmers known for their unique cultural heritage and the iconic Aran sweater.
The robust design of this mirror suggests the same stalwart, rugged, and elemental values as those of the Islands themselves. It communicates Ralph Lauren’s broader and timeless design philosophy. ↩
