The Evolution of the Polo: From Sport to Everyday Life

Simple and aristocratic: the Polo 19-42 by La Martina. The ideal alternative for various elegant (but not too elegant) occasions, as well as casual (but not overly so) events. A dress code originally dictated by the sport of the same name, which has made La Martina the official brand in the evolution and development of the polo shirt, turning it into a true style icon to this day.

The Origin of the Polo: From Military Regiments

From polo, a sport with noble and distant origins, practised mainly in Argentina, India and England, came the development of the polo shirt, used by the British teams of the militia regiments, in particular the 10th Hussars Regiment and the 9th Regiment of Lancers, who practised this sport in their spare time. Hence the origin and evolution of the iconic garment, first in full jersey and later in slab, with a history that dates back more than 120 years.

LA MARTINA: A LEADER IN THE CREATION OF TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE POLO

The Argentinean brand was born from a vision of Lando Simonetti and his wife Gachi Ferrari, who wanted to offer the best quality in the production of all technical polo equipment, distinguished by high safety, comfort, structure, unique designs and customisation, thanks to a direct link with the world's most important players.
