About LACOSTE
Lacoste S.A. is a French apparel company founded in 1933 by tennis champion Rene Lacoste and textile manufacturer Andre Gillier in Troyes. Lacoste designed the L.12.12 polo shirt in 1933 using petit pique cotton to replace the long-sleeved woven shirts worn on court, and the crocodile embroidered on its chest is considered the first visible logo on a consumer garment. The company expanded into footwear, fragrance, and leather goods, and its core tennis-adjacent sportswear remains in continuous production. Supreme and Lacoste have released multiple co-branded seasonal collections since 2017 spanning polos, track sets, and bags.
