René Lacoste

A heritage of innovation and authenticity

The Lacoste heritage is that of René Lacoste, the legendary tennis champion who created the Lacoste polo.
His celebrated shirt in petit pique would revolutionize the worlds of sport and fashion, giving rise to a brand that today is a symbol of elegance as well as savoir-faire, innovation and authenticity.

Protecting the brand and its heritage

Since its beginnings, Lacoste has been actively engaged in protecting its trademark.
This involves an ongoing commitment to customers, employees, partners and suppliers.
The commitment is laid out in the Code of Conduct and in Lacoste’s CSR policy, which the company’s suppliers agree to and sign to that effect.

Beware of counterfeits

As a premium and popular brand, Lacoste is often targeted by counterfeiters. To ensure the company can fight effectively against fakes, Lacoste has a team dedicated to stopping counterfeit Lacoste products from being manufactured or offered for sale. This team works in partnership with public authorities around the world.

Despite being illegal, fake Lacoste products can be found in physical shops, street markets or on online platforms. Many online sellers using terms such as “lacoste cheap”, “lacoste replica”, “lacoste overrun”, “lacoste dupe”, “lacoste real”, “lacoste authentic”, offer fake Lacoste products. These counterfeiters can be found on search engines, social media, marketplaces, or other online platforms.
