Collections from U.S. Polo Assn. represent the heritage of the brand but are told in the most contemporary way. Sport-inspired products range from preppy to collegiate; casual chic mixed with durable, everyday apparel and accessories. U.S. Polo Assn. is worn by players and followers of one of the most exciting and prestigious sports in the world. Today, U.S. Polo Assn. is an instantly recognizable lifestyle brand with a multi-billion-dollar global footprint operating across 194 countries. The brand has successfully fused past and present for lovers of classic, timeless, and wearable style. It maintains its unbreakable bond with the USPA and continues to be its official apparel partner.
The iconic U.S. Polo Assn. brand is being brought to Cheshire Oaks by the brand’s licensing partner, BMG, the United Kingdom-based, global licensing organization, which partners with some of the biggest and most well-known fashion brands in the world.
“After several years in partnership with U.S. Polo Assn. to market and sell the brand in the U.K., we are proud to open our first store, this being the first of many U.S. Polo Assn. stores we plan to open throughout the U.K. in the coming years,” explains Tom Duncan, Brand Director, BMG. “The Cheshire Oaks store will offer high-quality service and product, at great prices in the best store environment that U.S. Polo Assn. has to offer.”
U.S. Polo Assn. has always had a loyal fan base in the U.K. due to the origins of the modern version of the sport dating back to the 1800s. Indian military officers imported the game of polo to Britain in the 1860s, and the first set of formal British rules was created in 1874, many of which are still in existence. Today, U.S. Polo Assn. sponsors some of the most prestigious polo, influencer, and charity events in the U.K., including the illustrious British Gold Cup, Sand Polo, and the Royal Charity Cup.
“We have great history in the U.K. as a sport and as a brand and are eager to expand our brick-and-mortar strategy by opening many stores here in the coming years,” J. Michael Prince, President & CEO of USPA Global Licensing, the company that manages and markets the U.S. Polo Assn. brand across 194 countries, said of the U.K. expansion strategy. “With our authentic connection to the sport of polo, this U.S. Polo Assn. store has the best elements of our new outlet store design, created to offer consumers more than just shopping, but also an engaging experience.”
