Embodying timeless elegance and a spirit of cozy sophistication, Ralph Lauren’s aesthetic captures the perfect balance between classic American heritage and refined luxury. When reimagined for the holiday season, that signature style transforms into a world of tartan plaids, deep navy and rich red hues, brass accents, and textures that evoke both rustic comfort and high-end glamour. Creating Ralph Lauren–inspired Christmas crafts allows you to bring that look and feel into your home — merging the warmth of a country lodge with the polish of Fifth Avenue.
Each project in this collection draws on Ralph Lauren’s most iconic design elements: equestrian touches, wool and cashmere fabrics, traditional monograms, and natural materials like leather, wood, and greenery. From plaid-wrapped ornaments and monogrammed stockings to equestrian wreaths and velvet-ribboned gifts, these crafts invite you to celebrate the holidays with understated sophistication and handmade charm.
Whether you’re decorating a mountain cabin, a city apartment, or a family home, these projects capture the enduring allure of the Ralph Lauren lifestyle — one rooted in authenticity, tradition, and effortless style. They’re simple enough for an afternoon of crafting but elegant enough to elevate your entire holiday décor.
This guide offers inspiration, imagery, and easy ideas to help you design a Christmas season that feels both personal and luxurious — a celebration of craftsmanship, comfort, and classic American beauty, all wrapped in the timeless spirit of Ralph Lauren.
1. Plaid & Tweed Christmas Ornaments
Use tartan or houndstooth fabric (red, green, navy, or blackwatch plaid). Wrap around foam or clear ornaments. Add leather ribbons, gold buttons, or mini brass charms.
2. Equestrian Wreath
Make a wreath using green pine, pinecones, and faux leather straps or belts. Accent with small horse charms, bits, or riding boot miniatures. Finish with a navy or red velvet bow.
3. Monogrammed Stockings
Sew or embellish stockings in cream wool, cable knit, or plaid. Add embroidered RL-style monograms in gold or navy thread, and finish with brass buttons or leather trim.
4. Rustic Cabin Table Setting
Create leather napkin rings, use plaid fabric as table runners, and accent with evergreens and candlelight for a mountain-lodge holiday setting.
5. Luxury Candle Wrappers
Wrap candles in tweed, wool, or plaid fabric and tie with ribbon or wax seals. A perfect small gift or centerpiece accent.
6. Holiday Gift Wrap in Ralph Lauren Style
Use navy, tartan, or kraft paper. Tie with velvet ribbon or leather cord. Add metallic accents and equestrian motifs like buckles or horseshoes.

Decorate with plaid ribbons, antler or horse ornaments, tartan baubles, and soft gold lighting. Focus on textures: burlap, leather, velvet, and wood.

Create a wooden sign with “The Polo Lodge” or “Lauren Ranch” in serif letters. Stain dark walnut and add gold or brass details.
