Lacoste: the noble fashion brand is still the epitome of modern French style, inspired by the sporty looks of tennis and golf and their exclusive lifestyle worlds. Company founder René Lacoste, himself a multiple Grand Slam champion and Davis Cup winner with France, is still one of the greatest legends in the history of tennis, despite having to end his exceptional career at the age of just 25 due to a severe pulmonary disease.
Anyway, Lacoste celebrated his probably most outstanding triumph outside the tennis court with the development of the first modern polo shirt. However, his original polo shirt owed his "invention" to Lacoste's many years of experience as a professional tennis player. Because in contrast to the usual long-sleeved blazers, it was made from airy woven, much lighter and more-comfortable-to-wear cotton piqué – which enormously increased comfort when playing.
Far more well-known than René Lacoste and his world-famous polo shirts, however, is undoubtedly the logo of the fashion label: the green crocodile. "Le crocodile", as his teammates from the French Davis Cup team ironically called René Lacoste since the year 1923 after his lost bet on a crocodile leather suitcase, should henceforth decorate in the form of a cute and peaceful, stylized green reptile not just any polo shirt from René Lacoste. It has since been found on all Lacoste creations, was undoubtedly essential for the popularization of the company, and is still an integral part of its brand profile.
Of course, the cheerful crocodile is also a consistent design element of the unique ladies' and men's watches creations by Lacoste. The fascinating chic of these watches, whose collections have names like "Capbreton", "Moon" or "Motion", inspires the trend-conscious, active lawn sports enthusiast as well as the city shopper, who wears her wristwatches as elegant, timelessly attractive accessories. Regardless of whether it's a sporty men's chronograph or a sophisticated ladies' watch: all Lacoste watches are just as useful as everyday companions in sports as impressive fashion accessories.
