There have been reports that purple label shoes will now be made in Italy rather than in England by EG. I don't know about that but I just saw some RL shoes at Holt Renfrew and think RL are just trying to confuse customers.
The RL Stanton shoe, made in Italy, has Ralph Lauren written in script just like the purple label shoes but has made in Italy rather than England engraved in the sole. To further confuse, the box is purple. It seems RL now distinguishes between the Polo RL shoes, the Ralph Lauren ones like this sullivan and the Stanton (which appears as a Polo and simply Ralph Lauren on their site), and purple label shoes
but seem to mark RL shoes the same as purple label and they come in a purple box.
