The Maison
From the polo field to the art of living
The Monte-Carlo Polo Club was born in 2012 from an idea of Francesco Mitrano, Italian entrepreneur and Monegasque resident: to bring polo to the Principality. The following summer the first Monte-Carlo Polo Cup was held, opened by the parade of the riders and their horses on the Place du Casino.
Since then the Club has gathered players, patrons and guests from all over the world, between matches, prize-givings, ladies’ hat parades and gala evenings. Today the Maison carries that world beyond the field: the clothes and objects of match days, the Lounge Shops in the addresses of the Riviera and Le Privé, a circle of members by application.
The crest
The crest of the Monte-Carlo Polo Club unites the red and white lozenges of Monaco, a crown and two crossed polo mallets. It is embroidered on the polo shirts, engraved on the buttons of the club blazer and printed at the heart of the silk carrés: never a horseman, always the symbols of the Club.
What guides us
The polo field
Every piece starts from a moment of the tournament: the chukka, the parade, the prize-giving, the gala. The Chukker Polo takes its name from the periods of play.
The Riviera
Linen, cashmere and colours of the sea for a life between the port, the beach club and the deck: the Riviera line is born from beach polo.
Rarity
Numbered capsules for the tournaments, made in small runs and never restocked, and bespoke pieces made to order.
Discretion
Private appointments in a Lounge Shop, in a suite or on board, and a members’ club by nomination.
The heritage
The history of the tournaments, the FIP membership certificates and the press archive of the Club since 2013 are kept by the Monte-Carlo Polo Federation, presided over by Francesco Mitrano. From the archive also comes a chronograph watch with the crest of the Monte-Carlo Polo Club, a first sign of a lifestyle that went beyond the field.
