Lacoste was established in 1933 by French tennis player René Lacoste and André Gillier. It is known for its high-end apparel and accessories with a sporty flair. René Lacoste's tennis court nick-name, "the crocodile," inspired the company's instantly recognisable crocodile emblem. The Lacoste kids' apparel and footwear line features this sporty edge throughout the label's clothing production. Tracksuits, cotton hats, and the trademark polo top are just a few items that have origins in Lacoste's tennis history.
