Material Evidence
Petit Pique or diamond weave taffeta? Discover the iconic Lacoste materials.
Petit Piqué
Created by René Lacoste, the emblematic Petit Piqué is made of fibres knit together at two different levels of tension. The result? A finely honeycombed fabric that enables air to circulate freely. Breathable and lightweight, this fabric ensures comfort, ease of movement and elegance.
Diamond Weave Taffeta
Made in the 90s, this hard-wearing fabric lends Lacoste’s tracksuits and caps a solid criss-crossed weave. Designed for freedom of movement, it is supple and lightweight, dries very quickly and doesn’t crease. Lined with jersey or cotton, this is clothing for sport or comfort. Its diamond motif gives a bright, quilted texture, the signature of Lacoste’s priceless know-how.
Troyes, France in three key numbers
160 kilometres, the distance between the French knitwear capital and Paris. It’s not surprising then, that this is where René Lacoste established a manufacturing base to make the first polos.
500 people, the number of employees in the Troyes factories. There are various jobs to do, from pattern makers to garment-makers and knitting or dyeing machine operators. Coordinated effort from all of these experts results in your Lacoste polo.
40 minutes, the average length of time required by a garment-maker to assemble your polo like a puzzle.
