Ralph Lauren's Artist in Residence program gives Gee's Bend quilters design credit and community support in fifth collaboration

Ralph Lauren's fifth Artist in Residence collaboration brings Gee's Bend quilters Claudia Pettway Charley and Loretta Pettway Bennett into a 10-piece collection priced from $225 to $4,998. The program, launched in 2022, grants artists design credit, directs charitable contributions to their communities, and sells the work through Ralph Lauren's direct-to-consumer channels — a structure the company frames as a shift from inspiration to collaboration.
