Le Club Lacoste, the chic global community uniting sport and style, is extending its reach in the Philippines, offering members rare access, bespoke services, and refined experiences shaped by the brand’s unmistakable heritage.

Created to unite kindred spirits beneath the iconic Crocodile logo, Le Club Lacoste gathers those who appreciate the brand’s tennis heritage and the effortless elegance of French athleticism, opening the doors to exclusive previews, curated collections, and intimate gatherings. Its arrival in Manila signals a new chapter—one that aligns with the city’s surging love for tennis and celebrates the sense of community woven into the Lacoste identity.

This momentum came to life with the launch of Lacoste’s first tennis clinic in Manila, recently held at Shangri-La The Fort in Bonifacio Global City, where members, celebrity guests, and professional athletes gathered for an afternoon that seamlessly blended sport and style.

The event served as a dynamic introduction to the refreshed energy behind Le Club Lacoste, using the court not just as a venue for play, but as a space for connection—fitting for a brand whose legacy is rooted in the love of tennis.

Courtside, the tone was unmistakably Lacoste: crisp whites, pleated skirts, performance polos, and the clean lines of a thoughtfully styled tennis environment. Touches of signature green tied back to the brand’s lineage, while the setting itself—a modern court enlivened with lifestyle accents—demonstrated Lacoste’s ability to elevate athletic spaces into destinations.

Led by Philippine national coach Czarina Arevalo and a team of professional tennis coaches, the clinic welcomed players across skill levels, creating a supportive environment guided by precision, movement, and technique. Members from Le Club Lacoste and Kerry Sports joined well-known personalities including Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, fashion model Kylie Versoza, actor Khalil Ramos, online influencer Patricia Henson, entrepreneur Ben Wintle, concert producer Daniel Peters, and celebrity stylist Sidney Yap, adding a sense of excitement and conviviality to the experience.

Between sets, participants relaxed beneath white parasols or settled into lounge chairs arranged like a refined resort terrace, complete with chilled coconuts served courtside. The scene blended athletic focus with leisurely comfort in a way that felt innately Lacoste—effortless, polished, and welcoming.

As the clinic concluded, guests transitioned to an afternoon cocktail session on the hotel’s upper deck, a space styled in crisp neutrals and contemporary textures that complemented the afternoon’s tone. The social gathering echoed René Lacoste’s belief in sport as something that unites people, offering a chance for conversation to flow as easily as the matches had earlier in the day.

More than a singular event, the clinic signaled Lacoste’s renewed commitment to shaping Manila’s tennis culture—an effort rooted in heritage yet attuned to the present moment. Through Le Club Lacoste, members can expect more opportunities to connect with the brand beyond the boutique, gaining access to exclusive pieces, birthday gifts, private previews, customization services, and tiered rewards that grow with participation.

With this inaugural launch, Lacoste returns to the court not simply to revive the past, but to build a future—one where tennis, community, and style converge under the same unmistakable emblem.
