Laird Mackintosh is a passionate collector of vintage Ralph Lauren pieces. He has built an archive that is now considered one of the brand’s most comprehensive and sought-after private archives. His passion began over 40 years ago while working at a polo shop in Calgary. This experience sparked a lifelong dedication to acquiring the rarest and most historically significant pieces from Ralph Lauren’s extensive catalog.
This extraordinary, four-decade commitment has resulted in a collection that not only shows the development of the American style influenced by Ralph Lauren. It also preserves countless untold stories and the meticulous craftsmanship behind the label’s most iconic designs. Mackintosh’s collection is sought after by designers, historians and dedicated enthusiasts alike. They all appreciate the depth and unique quality of the collection.
Now, with the official launch of Thoroughbred New York, Mackintosh is transforming from private collector to curator and provider. This new company is more than just a marketplace. It is an initiative that makes these exceptionally rare vintage pieces available to the public. She also shares the deep passion behind the collection and brings to light the fascinating, previously private stories of these garments. Thoroughbred New York aims to be an important resource for both experienced collectors and newcomers to the world of vintage fashion. It connects them directly with authentic history and timeless style.
