Lacoste Casual II

Jul 26, 2005 / Posted in Messenger Bags by Megs Mahoney Dusil.

Lacoste Messenger BagThat alligator crocodile makes me happy. Most people cringe at the sight of a real gator, but I grew up by them. They surround Florida. In fact, they are taking Florida over. I’m not sure who will take over the Sunshine State first, the alligator or yet another hurricane. But how can anyone who is even remotely scared of a gator croc look at the Lacoste logo and not smile? I love it. Such a cute little gator croc on my shirt that makes me smile. Me and Vlad are avid Lacoste fans. I can’t get enough of the Polo’s in every color. So why not accessorize with Lacoste bags too?

I love the simplicity and sturdiness of Lacoste. Soon I will be doing a lot of traveling and I would love a new and bigger messenger bag, the Prada one is just too small. This is why I love this Casual II Messenger Bag by Lacoste. The bag is made of red polyester with weather-resistant PU coating and measures 34 x 24 x 11.5 cm in size. Unfortunately I can’t find a price but my assumption would be that it is reasonable.

edit: You’re right ladies, my bad. It’s a croc, indeed. Doh!

    Actually the logo that Rene Lacoste uses is not an alligator, it’s a crocodile. =/ Eh so the whole Florida gator thing is useless to promote that messenger.

    “About Lacoste
    French tennis champion René Lacoste created the world’s first polo shirt. And that famous crocodile? Lacoste won a crocodile-skin suitcase in a bet over an important match—and that reptile became his signature.”
    From Neiman Marcus.

    it’s a crocodile. not an alligator. if you’re an “avid lacoste fan”, you should at least know which one is on the lacoste merchandise. The Crocodile was rene lacoste’s nickname as a tennis player. please go read up on what seems like one of your favorite brands before going on and on about a non-existent alligator.

    Fellows, Here you go…. I’m an avid fan of Lacoste merchandises especially their messenger bags. These bags are made and being distributed by the famous “Samsonite”. You can find all kinds of selections from Ebay. He’s got an online store from Englang and his Ebay name is “Crocman”. I hope this will help you guys

    on the webpage http://www.lacoste.com its written:

    “I was nicknamed “the Alligator” by the American press”

    then:

    “So my friend Robert GEORGE drew a ‘crocodile’ which I then had embroidered on the blazer I wore on the courts.

    So pleace, if you gonna diss someone do it correct sir!

    Lacoste said it was an alligator before the Osaka District Court (Japan) in 1963 :roll:

    And repeated that line in countries where Crocodile shirts had first penetrated the market.

    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for the article it is very very good and it fed my Lacoste addiction a bit more.

    I also found a site with an article on the 75 years of Lacoste which really taps into some of the essence of the brand. Thought you might like it as I found it really good!
