With its instantly recognizable crocodile logo, the Lacoste brand has embodied a French art of living that blends relaxed elegance and performance since 1933. Born from the legacy of tennis champion René Lacoste, the label has become a key reference in contemporary urban style. Lacoste sunglasses, available on Visiofactory, carry this iconic spirit through frames that are as comfortable as they are authentic.
René Lacoste is regarded as one of the great figures in French sport. Winner of 7 major tournaments and 2 Davis Cups, he stood out both for his game and for his innovative mindset. His nickname “The Crocodile” appeared in 1923, following a bet over a crocodile-skin suitcase he had his eye on. He lost that match, but his tenacity impressed an American journalist who gave him the nickname that would become legendary.
In the 1920s, he also created the polo shirt, a garment that went on to become iconic. In 1937, designer Robert George drew the first version of the crocodile, a logo that has evolved significantly over time. Lacoste thus became the first brand to place a visible logo on a piece of clothing.
And in the 1980s, Bernard Lacoste launched the very first line of sunglasses, opening a new chapter in the brand’s history.

Each Lacoste frame embodies a contemporary vision of style, at the crossroads between French elegance and a sporting spirit. The models currently available on Visiofactory come in round and rectangular shapes, chosen for their ability to enhance facial features with simplicity and balance.
Whether you prefer the softness of rounded lines or the strong character of rectangular silhouettes, every shape expresses a side of your personality without ever overdoing it.
