Lacoste was founded in 1933 by entrepreneur André Gillier and four-time international tennis champion René Lacoste. It was the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing. The iconic crocodile is a nod to the nickname given to René Lacoste by his fans for his persistent determination on the tennis court.
René was making moves off the court, too. Not only did he introduce tennis players to a revolutionary polo shirt in “petit piqué” cotton, he also patented a shock absorber for tennis rackets that went on to win 46 Grand Slam titles. By the 1950s, Lacoste was exporting clothing across the world and developing its own children’s line. This helped to birth a transgenerational icon defined by values of excellence, humility, passion, daring, and fair play. This same sporting spirit continues to be a guiding force for the brand’s collections and commitments today.
