RL 888 Box Calfskin Crossbody

Ralph Lauren’s RL 888 collection was named in honor of our historic women’s flagship at 888 Madison Ave. in New York City, where the juxtaposing worlds of Ralph Lauren convene and inspire. A strong silhouette with a spirit of independence, the RL 888 Crossbody is inspired by the architecture of Mr. Lauren’s birthplace. Featuring a dual-compartment interior and an adjustable crossbody strap accented by two polished keepers, each bag is exquisitely made by hand and individually constructed in Italy with the highest-quality materials. Twenty-six pristine pieces of the finest Italian box calfskin are skillfully selected and hand-cut by Florentine artisans to create the body—its aniline finish and firm hand feel aids in the bag’s structured profile—while nappa lambskin serves as the lining. Embodying graceful function with luxurious form, our signature “RL” monogram is reimagined as a sculptural push-lock closure offered in palladium, brass, or champagne finishes. Additional touches, including subtle bombé filling at the flap and hand-painted edges, showcase Mr. Lauren’s commitment to fine details.
