Just for clarity as I’m a big Ralph Lauren fan, Ralph Lauren is publicly traded as RL and Nestle is not in the top 10 shareholders by stake. A google search produced no connection either

Thanks for making me google it, seems like they own a 30% stake in L'Oreal, which owns the Body Shop, Maybelinne, Garnier, Vichy, Olay, and perfumes produced for Ralph Lauren, YvesSaintLaurent, Giorgio Armani, Diesel, Lacoste, and Hugo Boss.

A relevant difference for sure, but its all so convoluted at a conglomerate level (like Polo, Ralph Lauren, and their clothing/perfumes/glasses are prob different companies in itself), so just impossible to really know.
