From K-Pop Icons to Fashion It-Girls: Why Polo Ralph Lauren’s Fall Bags Are the Must-Have Accessory of 2025
Korean celebrities have become undisputed style trendsetters worldwide. One airport outfit or a single Instagram post can spark viral trends and send fans scrambling to identify every last detail—especially when it comes to handbags. Lately, it’s Polo Ralph Lauren taking the spotlight, with its Polo Play and Polo ID bags becoming the latest obsessions. From aespa’s Winter, the Gen Z queen of sweet-and-edgy style, to the beloved TWICE member Sana, and the charming Rei from IVE, these icons have been spotted styling the exact same Polo Play bag—sending the internet into a fashion frenzy.
The Rise of Polo Ralph Lauren’s It Bags
Recently, Polo Ralph Lauren has captured the attention of the fashion world. The Polo Play, a fresh favorite, and the already influencer-approved Polo ID have quickly ascended the ranks of must-have accessories. These bags embody the brand’s signature blend of understated design and distinctive identity—timeless pieces you won’t get tired of seeing or carrying. For Fall/Winter 2025, the brand adds new depth to its icons by releasing earthy seasonal hues and introducing rich suede textures. Whether you’re just joining the PRL fan club or already have a growing collection, these new versions are worth a serious look.
Polo Play: A Celebration of Freedom and Versatility
If a handbag had a personality, the Polo Play’s would shout “freedom.” Debuting in Spring 2025, this bag’s sleek, minimalist silhouette was designed with effortless versatility in mind. The streamlined handle and structural simplicity make it both stylish and functional. Whether you prefer carrying it by hand or slinging it over your shoulder, the Polo Play lives up to its name—free-spirited, easygoing, and full of playful sophistication.
Initially catching attention in pebbled leather and bold, cheerful colors, the Polo Play now embraces suede for the cooler seasons. With new hues like deep navy and warm caramel brown, the suede version offers added softness, drape, and dimension—perfect for autumnal looks. Pebbled leather options haven’t been left behind either: updated shades like “Fig” (a rich, glossy tone) and “Lemon Cream” (a soft pastel yellow) inject a dose of freshness into the line. With multiple sizes available, there’s a Polo Play for every mood and style.
Just as versatile as the bag itself are the ways it’s styled. Winter went for an androgynous, edgy vibe by pairing a deep navy mini Polo Play with a bright green shirt. Sana opted for a graceful, feminine approach—choosing a large blush-toned Polo Play to complement her blouse-and-skirt combo. Rei’s take? A playful all-white outfit with the same pink bag, adding a soft, friendly charm. Their interpretations prove one thing: this is a bag that fits any aesthetic.
Polo ID: Where Equestrian Heritage Meets Urban Chic
Seen regularly in Winter’s looks and practically glued to Krystal’s arm, the Polo ID is the cool-girl essential you didn’t know you needed. With inspiration drawn from the raw beauty of wild horses and equestrian craftsmanship, the bag is defined by a smooth, curved silhouette and a striking metal bit detail—a nod to Ralph Lauren’s love of horse culture. Crafted in fine Italian leather with masterful tailoring, the Polo ID balances luxury and subtlety perfectly.
For Fall/Winter 2025, the Polo ID welcomes new seasonal colors and materials, including rich forest green and soft suede, echoing the layered textures of the season. Whether you go for the bold statement of the large size or the adorable, croissant-like curves of the mini version, this bag adapts effortlessly. Winter styled her black mini ID with an all-black ensemble to make the silhouette pop, while Krystal kept things light and luxe, pairing a crisp white blouse with a caramel-toned mini ID for the ultimate vacation-chic moment.
Whether you’re drawn to the playful spirit of the Polo Play or the refined curves of the Polo ID, Polo Ralph Lauren’s latest bag drop is more than just stylish—it’s a seasonal statement. And if Winter, Sana, Rei, and Krystal are any indication, this trend is just heating up.
