One of the best places I’ve found to buy vintage Lacoste is on Etsy. Just type the term “Vintage Lacoste” into the search box, and you will find a lot of reasonably-priced items for sale. Remember, before you buy, it’s important to check for whether the items for sale are counterfeit or not. Luckily, most of the items shown on Etsy, show enough photos for you to make some basic checks before you buy. In particular, most of the listings show good views of the logo, which is one of the easiest ways to check for fake merchandise. So, good hunting!

We have a really great strength in those businesses,” said Mike Kelly, CMO, PVH Heritage Brands Marketing and chief innovation officer, PVH. “I want to make sure that we are seen year-round and that we get our due in the fall as well. Aligning with football, aligning with evening parties and get-togethers helps us do that.”

Novak Djokovic Claims Switching to Lacoste Was Key to Beating Kei Nishikori
Djokovic set up a US Open semi-final clash with Japanese ace Kei Nishikori by beating John Millman 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 this morning in the US Open. Djokovic last played, and beat Nishikori at Wimbledon, and he credits his switch to Lacost from Uniqlo for the victory:
“I played him once I think since I changed to Lacoste from Uniqlo, so I think Uniqlo was the key of the success. That was a very bad joke. Yeah, it’s 1am, guys. I’m sorry. I’m just trying to make this interesting.”
