Lacoste holds its first-ever Lacoste Tennis Clinic in Manila, bringing the brand back to where its legendary story began: the tennis court. Long before it became a global fashion powerhouse, Lacoste was born on the court, shaped by the pioneering vision of René Lacoste. The Tennis Socials honored this legacy by putting the spotlight back on the sport, where the brand’s most iconic pieces were first brought to life.
The event set-up at the Kerry Sports Tennis Court
Held at the Kerry Sports Tennis Court at Shangri-La The Fort BGC, the event marked the launch of the Lacoste Tennis Clinic in Manila, the brand’s community initiative designed to elevate the sport locally and reconnect Filipinos with Lacoste’s tennis heritage. As part of this vision, the brand shines a spotlight on Le Club Lacoste, a loyalty program that offers members exclusive advantages, from early previews and special gifts to limited-edition products, customization services, and access to events.
As tennis continues to gain momentum in the Philippines, Lacoste aims to play a meaningful role in its resurgence. Through Le Club Lacoste Manila, the brand seeks to elevate its presence in the tennis category by strengthening its connection with the local tennis community, positioning itself as the leading tennis lifestyle brand in the country. At the same time, Lacoste hopes to kickstart a dynamic community by partnering with top-tier clubs and nurturing relationships with players and fans.

The initiative drew inspiration from René Lacoste’s love of bringing people together, merging the sport with a refined social experience. Styled in crisp whites, greens, and contemporary resort textures, the venue showcased elevated tennis-inspired décor.
