Court culture: Lacoste serves up style and sport in the Philippines

A stylish comeback to the sport that started it all

Lacoste marked a meaningful moment in Manila with its first-ever Lacoste Tennis Clinic—a celebration that brings the brand back to where its story began: the tennis court. Long before Lacoste became a global style staple, it was born from the spirit of the game, shaped by René Lacoste’s commitment to innovation and effortless elegance. This event felt like a return to that heritage, reminding everyone that the Crocodile was first a champion before it became a fashion icon.

Held at the Kerry Sports Tennis Court in Shangri-La The Fort, the clinic introduced Lacoste’s newest community initiative aimed at reconnecting Filipinos with the brand’s tennis DNA. The event also highlighted Le Club Lacoste, the brand’s loyalty program offering members early access to collections, exclusive gifts, limited-edition pieces, customization services, and curated experiences that elevate the Lacoste lifestyle.

With tennis gaining momentum in the Philippines, Lacoste is stepping deeper into the sport. Through Le Club Lacoste Manila, the brand hopes to engage players, fans, and enthusiasts by partnering with top tennis clubs and nurturing a dynamic, growing community.

The launch gathered familiar faces and sports lovers—Catriona Gray, Kylie Verzosa, Khalil Ramos, Patrick Sugui, Patricia Henson, Daniel Peters, Ben Wintle, and Sidney Yap—for a friendly match guided by professional coaches from Kerry Sports. The atmosphere was exactly what you’d expect from Lacoste: athletic, relaxed, and quietly chic.

This first Tennis Clinic is just the start. As Le Club Lacoste Manila grows, expect more exclusive clinics and lifestyle gatherings that bring together sport, style, and culture.
