That 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!
I found this bag in olive (color) on the Urban Outfitters website for $165.00
Yeh, but is that bag a Lacoste bag??
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 matchâ€â€and that reptile became his signature.”

IT IS A MANS BAG JENNIFER U FLOPSTER
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.
Thanks for lashing out a bash, yet hiding your name behind an “anonymous” nick. *rolleyes*
It’s a preppy bag… but much too conservative for me.
Does any one know where I can by the larger on in white. I’ve searched all over for it w/out any luck. help?

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!
I have the large LAcoste Casual II in black. Is anyone still interested in buying it? It’s never been used but was taken out of the plastic.
how much do you want for it ihola?
yeah ihola me too how much are you selling it for
Lacoste said it was an alligator before the Osaka District Court (Japan) in 1963 🙄
And repeated that line in countries where Crocodile shirts had first penetrated the market.
the school bag is ok but when u put it around you u can not see that it is lacosre ❓ 😕 😯 😐

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!

The whole alligator crocodile thing is the same. They are both reptile with the same genetics only differ in name.
I sporty guy friend of mine would appreciate the red to draw necessary attention to him on a dark day. (ipad)
Nice bag! (ipad)
