Lacoste was originally founded in 1933 by French tennis player René Lacoste and André Gillier and is best known for its iconic crocodile logo and pioneering the casual chic style with the invention of the polo shirt. The brand expanded into eyewear in the 80s, bringing the same elegance, simplicity, and sports-inspired luxury that defines its clothing line.
Lacoste eyewear blends sport and fashion, incorporating classic and modern designs with high-quality materials. Known for their refined yet casual aesthetic, Lacoste sunglasses and optical frames often feature clean lines, vibrant colors, and the signature crocodile logo. With styles suited for both men and women, Lacoste eyewear offers comfort, durability, and UV protection, making it a favorite for everyday wearers and sports enthusiasts alike.
Lacoste ventured into the eyewear market in the early 1980s. During this time, the brand collaborated with the L'Amy Group, a French eyewear manufacturer known for its craftsmanship, to produce its first line of sunglasses. One of their first successful models, the "Lacoste 101," became an instant hit and helped define the iconic Lacoste aesthetic in eyewear.
These frames were crafted with high standards of quality and precision, characteristic of L'Amy's production in France. The collaboration helped establish Lacoste as a notable player in the eyewear market alongside its presence in fashion and sportswear.
This charming small aviator-style frame was made in France during the 1980s, it blends elegance and quality. The frame features a beautiful combination of gold metal and light brown tortoise acetate, a timeless and stylish piece of vintage eyewear.

Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
