Artist/Maker
Place of origin

This blue t-shirt for an eight-year-old boy was sold as part of the spring/summer 2011 range from Polo by Ralph Lauren Childrenswear.

The Polo range for boys was launched in 1976, designed to continue the timeless yet modern aesthetic of the adult ranges. The preppy equestrian-inspired t-shirt with the polo player logo is a signature design of the Ralph Lauren brand, available since 1972 and now produced in twenty-four different colours. The children's version is simply a smaller version of the adult's design.
