With its sophisticated blend of casual elegance and up-to-date trends, the new optical collection from LACOSTE represents the epitome of chic understatement and a laid-back lifestyle.

LACOSTE is the legend of a fantastic tennis player, René Lacoste, a world-class and internationally renowned tennis champion. Exposed to an elite world of refinement and traditional values, he maintained an attitude to life that is reflected in the brand’s unique positioning, and in its contemporary classic and sport-elegant product offering. In the early 1930's, René Lacoste invented the famous piqué polo shirt 1212, in white, designed for the tennis world; the idea of innovation, branding initiative, quality, functionality as well as smart sportswear is still represented today.

Complementing the LACOSTE range of clothing, footwear, fragrances, leather goods, watches and home textiles, the optical frames make a definitive statement of character and class. Charmant is presenting exciting new models for men and women. The fresh, natural elegance of the Spring/Summer collection for 2008 make LACOSTE optical eyewear the perfect accessory for both work and play.
