Lacoste Accessories for Women & Men - Modern Design with Cult Status

French elegance interpreted in a sporty way - founded in 1933 by tennis pro René Lacoste, the Lacoste brand quickly developed its unmistakable style. Its essence, then as now: clean lines, functional purity, and an embroidered crocodile - in the genre-defining polo shirt and also in the accessories that harmoniously complement not only the global brand's sporty clothing lines. Lacoste is internationally known for timeless design that complements modern business outfits and urban fashion looks alike.

Even the polo shirt with which René Lacoste entered the world of fashion over 80 years ago mastered the stylistic balancing act: Developed by a top athlete for his own use on the tennis court, the polo shirt made of the innovative piqué fabric soon replaced the long-sleeved shirt as sportswear. And it's becoming socially acceptable: Even with a suit or a smart suit, a collared shirt is now wearable.

Lacoste leather goods are also characterized by this brand essence: They combine elegance, reduced to its essentials, with the highest level of quality. The bags, wallets, and weekend bags are refined with select materials such as fine cowhide or canvas with a piqué texture and the crocodile emblem. Every further detail is determined by its purpose: As a specialist in premium sportswear, Lacoste is always concerned with function. With the crocodile, men and women move with style and confidence in their active everyday lives.

Polo shirt and crocodile - accessories in sporty chic from Lacoste

So how did the crocodile become a brand emblem? In the 1920s, the successful tennis pro René Lacoste saw a crocodile leather suitcase. His coach promised it to him if he won the upcoming match. René received the suitcase, and on top of that, his nickname: the Alligator. Since then, a small, embroidered crocodile has adorned his tennis shirts, and the logo for the new brand was quickly found.

René Lacoste was not only a passionate tennis player, but also made a name for himself as a passionate inventor. In addition to the polo shirt, his inventions include a patented tennis ball-throwing machine and the steel-framed racket. It's clear, then, that all Lacoste collections are inspired by sports to this day. Discover your favorite companions in Lacoste's simple yet luxurious designs in the Sakoi online shop!
