It’s all about the pleats.
Lacoste, a brand synonymous with sports heritage and style, has continued to evolve the fashion game. Just like the thrilling game of tennis, the sport is characterised by continuous movement and precision. Adding on to the flair is the signature essence of a pleated skirt, which has become an integral part of the women’s uniform—a form of movement, freedom, and practicality. With every swing and sprint, these elements dance gracefully. In case you didn’t know, the iconic pleats became the heart and soul of the brand today, thanks to founder René Lacoste. In 1973, Lacoste revamped tennis player Suzanne Lenglen’s uniform — a pleated V-neck tennis dress with contrasting piping.
Fast-forward to today, the harmonious folds have become an element that profoundly resonates with the brand. Refined yet graceful, the subtle pleats continue to shine with a timeless allure. Only this time, they’re adorned as an everyday companion.
Introducing the Lenglen bag. Lacoste introduces its newest leather accessory of the season. An ode to its tennis heritage with a unique flair, the Lenglen is catered for the modern woman. Its sturdy silhouette takes inspiration from the pleats of a tennis skirt. Moreover, the supple folds extend into a series of clean architectural lines.
The delicate pleats beautifully blend the worlds of sports and elegance. No matter the occasion, the Lenglen bag is a versatile choice that deserves a spot in your weekly rotation. Take style cues from fashion darling Junees Teoh as she exudes a series of refined yet relaxed ensembles. To match the Lenglen, your styling opportunities are endless. From structured oversized blazers to a relaxed polo and tennis skirts, the bag gives anyone an opportunity to explore from day-to-night.
Whether you prefer the Large, Medium or Small, the leather companion is an artwork in its own right. Adored for its versatility, the removable strap allows you to style the bag as a crossbody, hand-held or on the shoulder, giving you the power to create your own unique look.
Plus, the neutral palettes provide every fashion darling the opportunity to pair the Lenglen with their everyday wardrobe. However, if you’re looking for a pop of colour to jazz up your ensembles, why not opt for a touch of red? The Burnet Henna hue is our best bet for a daring addition to your collection.
A perfect sidekick for the modern woman, the Lenglen embodies a blend of strength, versatility, and styling, making it ideal for any fashion maven’s dynamic lifestyle. Whether she’s on-the-go, on vacation, or attending soirees, the Lenglen bag embraces both function and fashion–a statement piece that elevates her wardrobe and celebrates her individuality.
Discover the Lenglen at Lacoste boutiques in TRX and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
