About us:
From Court to Culture- Join & Live Lacoste.
Lacoste is more than a brand, it’s a way of life.
Founded by tennis legend René Lacoste in 1933, the iconic Lacoste Polo is sold every three seconds around the world. From its sporting roots to becoming a global symbol of everyday luxury, Lacoste has transcended borders to define timeless French style.
In Australia and New Zealand, Lacoste brings the spirit of Roland Garros and the South of France to life; blending European elegance with the outdoor Australian lifestyle. We create emotional connections through experiences that celebrate Lacoste’s sportswear icon status, setting the brand apart from local and American alternatives.
As part of Accent Group, joining Lacoste means being part of a powerhouse retail business and a team that leads through customer obsession, market-leading product, and a winning omni-channel experience.
