Scuderia Large Travel Case
The designer’s latest bag collection was inspired by Ferrari’s renowned racing division, as you might have guessed. Ralph Lauren’s Scuderia line brings bags, totes, wallets and more to both fashion and sports car fans.

All the items in the collection are made from butter-soft perforated black calfskin with contrasting racing stripes, with yellow and black as the designer’s colors of choice. Ralph Lauren's Scuderia line is available at Ralph Lauren outlets, selected retailers, and the brand's online store, Luxist reported.

The Scuderia Tote bag features include: two contrasting bright stripes flanking the buckle and extending down the front and back; tonal metal "RL" logo at top exterior back; includes the signature "Ralph Lauren"-printed purple felt duster bag. Price: $1,295.

The Scuderia Duffle bag features include: two-way top zip with leather pull tabs and leather trim showcasing the "RL" logo; gleaming tonal metal padlock for security. Price: $1,895.

The Scuderia Large Travel Case features include: double top zippers with leather pull tabs extend halfway down each side; double leather racing stripes at each side. Metal "RL" logo at one side. Price: $595.

The Scuderia Leather Zip Hipster wallet features include: embossed "Ralph Lauren" logo accents the interior; tonal metal "RL" logo accents the front corner. Price: $295.

Besides being a famous and highly-appreciated fashion designer, Ralph Lauren is known as an avid classic automobiles collector. He owns a 2005 McLaren F1 GTR LM, 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, and a 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK, among others.

However, the Ferraris are in fact the ones to get his attention. A Ferrari 250 GTO and a pair of original Ferrari 250 Testa Rossas are the highlights of his collection. In fact, a similar Testa Rossa unit is the new auction world record holder, fetching $12.15 million at the RM Auctions' “Ferrari Leggenda e Passione” event in May.
