To commemorate the opening of the new store, Ralph Lauren has teamed up with Akira, the brand’s global ambassador and member of well-known Japanese boy band Exile, to release a special drink. Named “Sunrise Premium”, the specially crafted beverage is a cold brew with a hint of vanilla and refreshing citrus.
