Lacoste<\/a> celebrates its 80th anniversary with collaborations by nine top French design houses, including Hermes <\/a>and Boucheron. <\/a><\/p>\n A true aristocrat leads by example — and celebrates success without planning the party. Thus Lacoste<\/a>, the design house of royalty sport, celebrates eighty years of polo pimping with an indulgent and very republic collaboration effort. Nine top French houses commemorate the Lacoste<\/a> crocodile with exclusive anniversary gifts, from bags to golf clubs to delicious sweets. The collection is for looks only, as no items are available for sale — an old world affair, indeed.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Baccarat Crystal Vase with Lacoste Crocodile<\/strong><\/p>\n Baccarat<\/a>, known for its luxurious crystal pieces, commemorates that elusive crocodile with a large green vase. Inspired by the tennis and golf trophies won by Rene Lacoste<\/a> and his athletic brood, the shape harkens 1930’s design but with a very modern, geometric pattern.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Bernardaud for Lacoste Golf Tees <\/strong><\/p>\n Rene Lacoste<\/a> married golf champion Simone Thion de la Chaume, and their daughter, Catherine, was also a reigning golfer. So to honour Lacoste’s<\/a> long-standing relationship with the thinker’s game, porcelain company Bernardaud<\/a> created a collection of golf tees, each in the colour of the infamous Lacoste<\/a> polo shirt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Boucheron Lacoste Crocodile Brooches <\/strong><\/p>\n The Maison Boucheron<\/a> is one of the most exclusive jewelers in the Place Vendrome, and indeed the world. Known for its collection of bejeweled animals, the house adds two Lacoste<\/a> crocodile brooches to its extensive bestiary. Made out of diamonds and emeralds, these are two crocs we’re not afraid to handle.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Christofle Silver Golf Club for Lacoste<\/strong><\/p>\n This gift for Lacoste’s<\/a> anniversary is a guaranteed conversation starter at your local country\u00a0 club. From brooches to place settings, the house Christofle <\/a>produces priceless silverware, but nothing compares to the complete silver golf club the company made in tribute to Lacoste<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fauchon Eclairs for Lacoste<\/strong><\/p>\n Culinary powerhouse Fauchon<\/a> creates one of the more entertaining (and ephemeral) gifts with these delicious signature eclairs. Specially designed by the Fauchon<\/a> pastry chefs, the eclairs are magenta, green and white and come in five decadent flavours: green tea, almond, vanilla, lemon and strawberry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Goyard Lacoste Crocodile Travel Bag<\/strong><\/p>\n Luxury trunk design house Goyard<\/a> combines its own stylized chevron-patterned monogram with the infamous Lacoste<\/a> crocodile insignia to create an exclusive, limited edition travel bag. Perfectly sized and elegantly shaped, this is the travel bag for sporting babes jetting the Riviera.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Hermes for Lacoste Crocodile Tennis Bag<\/strong><\/p>\n Nothing screams hallmark than a gifted bag from Hermes. The fashion house pays homage to Lacoste’s <\/a>tennis history with a large crocodile skin tennis bag. With organic curves and that gorgeous green, the Hermes for Lacoste<\/a> bag will make style pros out of sporting novices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n S.T. Dupont Crocodile Note Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n Luxury manufacturer S.T. Dupont<\/a> has created the perfect gift for the sharp and elegant Lacoste<\/a> sportsman. The case, created to look mysteriously plain from the outside, holds a lighter, two candles, a notebook and two pens: Elys\u00e9e and Classique.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Veuve Clicquot Champagne Trolley for Lacoste<\/strong><\/p>\n No anniversary celebration is complete without a bottle of bubbly. Lacoste<\/a>, of course, was gifted some of the best in the land from the infamous Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin<\/a> Champagne House. Along with champagne, the brand designed a special case in the shape of an iconic golf trolley.<\/p>\n The 80th Anniversary Lacoste<\/a> Collection will display at Colette<\/a> in Paris from June 10th to 15th. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
