La Martina is official supplier to the Argentine Polo Association and the Federation of International Polo. The brand was founded in the mid-1980s by Lando Simonetti, who was working in the fashion business at the time in the United States. When he returned to his native Argentina, Simonetti founded La Martina primarily as a manufacturer of high-end leather goods for polo, specialising in boots and saddles. Over the years, La Martina has expanded its range to include polo apparel and is renowned for the high performance and enduring quality of its products.
