Lacoste requires all its suppliers to be compliant with its Code of Conduct.
This document is based on the strictest international standards for the respect of human rights. Lacoste is engaged in respecting those principles and ensuring that they are observed throughout all the suppliers and production chain, thanks to certifications and regular external audits.

The products presented on lacoste.com correspond to our items available in stock. If you cannot select your size or add the product to your shopping cart, it means that the product is no longer available. In this case, we invite you to go to the store or visit the site later and check if it has been restocked.

Lacoste is concerned with the welfare of animals, endangered species and biodiversity.
For this reason it has banned all practices that cause suffering to the animals (force-feeding, plumage of live animals, mulesing) and committed not to use real fur nor angora for its collections. 
The brand also invests in the protection of biological diversity since 2009 in a project for the protection of crocodile species.

Essential for everyone, this supple washable mask has been produced to give you extra protection. Thanks to its triple thickness of spray-suppressing piqué cotton and its seamless double-pleat structure, it is worn from the nose to the chin. Its plate metal grip adjusts on the bridge of your nose and its stretchable pulls fit gently to your face. For each mask sold, £3 will be donated to the Lacoste Fund to support solidarity and social actions. *French DGA homologation. This mask is not a medical mask as per the EU/2017/745 regulation, nor personal protective equipment as per the EU/2016/425 regulation.

All Lacoste clothes are designed in France and then manufactured in factories which, wherever their location in the world, have been selected for their ability to meet the high quality, social and environmental requirements set out in Lacoste's Code of Conduct.
Lacoste products are manufactured as close as possible to the areas in which they will be sold, but also from the most competent suppliers on specific products (silk in China, synthetics / technical fabrics in Asia, etc.).

Please check the size guide available on each product page.

Lacoste recommends that you follow for each item the specific care instructions listed on the product's label.
With regards to polos, it is recommended to use cold water the first time you wash them and to turn them inside out to preserve the quality of the cotton. Then, it is advisable to wash them in cold or warm water (30 degrees) with a soft laundry detergent preferably non-toxic and biodegradable.
Dryers and radiators are not recommended. It's best to allow your polo shirt to drip dry.  
These practices also save energy and improve the environmental footprint of your product.

Lacoste does not provide product authentications for purchase not made in one of our official boutiques or on our lacoste.com online store.
In order to guarantee 100% authenticity, quality and service, the only way to be sure to buy an authentic Lacoste product it is to buy it from one of our official stores, on the lacoste.com online store or from one of our official resellers.

Lacoste strives to produce its clothing as close as possible to the areas in which it will be sold, but also with the most competent suppliers for specific products.
Fibers, especially cotton used in Lacoste polo shirts, are carefully selected among the world's finest fibers in the four areas recognised for their great expertise: Peru, the United States, Egypt and Greece. Each supplier must meet high standards that go beyond quality standards and are also respectful of human rights and the principles of sustainable development.
Lacoste is very concerned with the welfare of animals, endangered species and biodiversity.
