The Polo Women’s Shop on Cat Street in Tokyo has undergone a stylish transformation for the new season, welcoming guests with a towering 2-meter-tall Polo Bear. This concept store, dedicated to offering timeless and sophisticated style to women worldwide, has also introduced exciting new features.
On the first floor, a pop-up space showcases Japanese vintage ceramics for a limited time. The floor also features a captivating selection of Polo Ralph Lauren apparel, including preppy jackets, cable knit sweaters, and a denim collection. The popular caps space has also been revitalized with autumnal hues.
Ascend the American-inspired staircase adorned with brand archive photographs to discover the Polo Bear Shop on the second floor. This captivating space houses a curated collection of beloved Polo Bear items, including rare vintage bears that are not for sale. You’ll also find an array of Polo Bear-inspired apparel and home decor items.
Another highlight is the exclusive second installment of the Indigo collection, a collaboration with the indigo dyeing project NORABI. These limited-edition products blend Japanese creativity with Polo Ralph Lauren’s DNA while maintaining environmental consciousness.
To celebrate the store’s transformation, a special in-store event was held, featuring a visit from ITZY’s Ryujin. In an exclusive interview with VOGUE JAPAN, Ryujin showcased her favorite Polo Ralph Lauren looks, showcasing the brand’s timeless style and playful spirit.
Ryujin, who had previously visited the store for a VOGUE JAPAN YouTube shoot, was greeted by a throng of fans upon her arrival. Despite the commotion, she remained gracious throughout the interview, even waving to fans outside the shop after the shoot. Her favorite piece from the collection is the shop-exclusive patchwork jacket. “This playful patchwork jacket has a very American vibe, and I think it embodies the spirit of Polo Ralph Lauren!” she shared.
Ryujin effortlessly embodies the Polo Ralph Lauren aesthetic, styling a navy jacket for a timeless, effortless look. “This timeless and effortless navy jacket has a truly New York feel, which I love. The theme this season is New York, so I chose this piece accordingly,” she explained. For a modern American casual ensemble, she paired the emblem-adorned double jacket with a chambray shirt.
For the upcoming party season, Ryujin selected a handsome tuxedo jacket with a bow tie for a sophisticated look. She paired the elegant black jacket with denim and a concho belt for a chic Western twist.
“This street in Cat Street has a Parisian vibe, which I love. The store is also divided into two floors, each with a distinct theme. It’s a place that engages all your senses,” she shared, radiating excitement.
If you’re looking for the perfect place to indulge in some winter shopping, The Polo Women’s Shop is a must-visit. Experience the brand’s captivating world and discover timeless and sophisticated style, just like ITZY’s Ryujin.
