Fashion's Digital ID Revolution is Coming

Is Chloé First?

Future Fashion - All of your mid to high level clothing will soon have digital ID tags. Here’s an example of a Ralph Lauren POLO shirt from 2020 with a digital code that I spotted at Japanese resale shop 2nd Street in Sherman Oaks, California last year. The QR (Quick Response) code is hidden to the left of the phone icon - and links to the shirt’s authenticity page that further identifies the item’s material number, supplier number and date of manufacture.

In the gallery below, you’ll see the Ralph Lauren shirt, a close up of the digital code and the authenticity page to which it links.
