Samsung and Lacoste Collaborate on Flip Phone Cases

Posted on November 9, 2022 by JFP

Lacoste and Samsung have collaborated to create an eco-friendly, Lacoste branded case for the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4. Sammobile has the details:

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is one of the most fashionable smartphones created in recent times, and it provides an opportunity for Samsung to collaborate with different fashion brands. After revealing the Maison Margiela Edition, the company has now announced the launch of four new protective cases for the Galaxy Z Flip 4, created in an exclusive partnership with Lacoste.

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 cases by Lacoste are available in four colors: Graphite, Blue, Lavender, and Rose Gold. The cases carry a subtle yet recognizable Lacoste crocodile logo. They were made from recycled materials, and the same goes for their packaging, which was made entirely from recycled cardboard, vegetable ink, and vegetable glue.

ScreenRant also has coverage:

According to their listing page on the official Samsung website, the two-piece silicone cases will offer protection against bumps and scratches while being thin and flexible enough to provide a comfortable grip. They are available in four solid colors, including Graphite, Blue, Lavender and Rose Gold, and carry a prominent Lacoste crocodile logo at the back.

Android Headlines also has coverage on the launch.

For now, it only seems to be available in France, but hopefully it will be in more countries soon.

Esquire has all the details on Ralph Lauren’s team-up with Fortnite that includes real world Fortnite branded Ralph Lauren polo shirts and an in-game tournament:

To the delight of Epic Games (and whoever they bank with), Fortnite is still a thing. A huge thing. And its enduring appeal has got much to do with the video game’s myriad collaborations with high-profile hitters in every field, fashion included. Right now, it’s Fortnite x Polo Ralph Lauren keeping the fire ablaze.

On Wednesday 2 November, the collaboration launched with a drop of IRL pieces, namely a polo shirt and a cap – both unisex, both available in white and ‘newport navy’, both distinguishable by a reworked Polo Pony logo (here a Polo Supply Llama).

You can see all the details of the collection at the Ralph Lauren Fortnite page.

Lacoste Partners With The Ellen McArthur Foundation

Posted on August 7, 2021 by JFP

Lacoste and four other fashion companies have partnered with the Ellen McArthur Foundation in support of their fashion initiatives:

The Foundation’s work on Fashion started back in 2017 and brought together leaders from across the fashion industry to work with cities, philanthropists, NGOs, and innovators to create a circular economy for clothes. Make Fashion Circular now enters its fourth year, and has made strides in redesigning the fashion industry, including establishing its vision and demonstrating that creating clothes for a circular economy is possible today through projects like The Jeans Redesign – where some of the biggest names in fashion have, to date, put more than half a million pairs of circular jeans on the market.

The Foundation and its fashion Partners, including strategic partner H&M Group, will be working to drive momentum towards the Make Fashion Circular vision where clothes, products (apparel, footwear, accessories) are used more, made to be made again, and made from safe and recycled or renewable inputs. As Partners of the world’s leading circular economy network, their collaborative efforts will be key to drive systemic change and scale solutions globally.

Lacoste x National Geographic: Lacoste Collaborates with National Geographic On New Line Of Eco-Friendly Clothing

Posted on November 24, 2020 by JFP

Update: The collection has now dropped, and is available at the Lacoste Store.

Update: Lifestyle Asia notes that “this collection has been made with all recycled and sustainable materials. The polyester of the bags is recycled and the organic cotton and rubber used in the polos and footwear have been certified sustainable.”

Continuing in a series of collaborations released this year, Lacoste is now collaborating on a new Econ-friendly line with National Geographic. GQ UK reports:

“it’s the National Geographic Photo Ark project which forms the central aesthetic lynchpin for this new collection. Led by award-winning photographer and National Geographic Fellow Joel Sartore, the project aims to photograph every single living creature in the world’s zoos, aquariums and nature reserves.

Focusing on four of the key animals in Sartore’s 10,500-species-strong archive – the Grévy’s Zebra (Equus grevyi), the Green and Black Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates auratus), the Halloween Pennant Dragonfly (Celithemis eponina) and the Jaguar (Panthera onca) – the collection is a high colour celebration of, in the words of Lacoste “the diversity and splendour of the animal kingdom.”

The resulting clothes are an energetic antidote to the all-too-grey flatness of this second lockdown. There’s a puffy electric cobalt parka finished with the splattered markings of the frog, there are scarlet T-shirts with crocodile scales and there’s a series of classic Lacoste polo shirts (the garment with which the tennis-focused brand made its name) covered with exploded rosettes of the jaguar.

Highxtar enthuses about the collection:

Lacoste x National Geographic consists of a wide range of sweatshirts and polo shirts. Accessories such as sunglasses, sneakers, bags and even underwear. The classic T-shirts in red and navy blue are proposed with the logo of the crocodile printed on the various motives. The iconic polo comes in a striking all-over print of jaguar, zebra or frog. In addition, they’ve launched a set of reversible padded jackets as a nod to the animals’ ability to blend in. Each of these garments is reminiscent of National Geographic with subtle details in yellow.
