Designed as a lifestyle extension of the brand, the space blends tennis-inspired design, refined cuisine, and a full immersion into the Lacoste brand and unique universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is a standout example of brand extension, carried out with meticulous attention to detail. It goes beyond a traditional brand extension by transforming the brand experience into a multi-sensory space that fully embodies its universe. We believe it\u2019s worth sharing as a reference for how a brand can bring its identity to life in an entirely new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_81 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-brand-extension\/#About_The_Brand\" >About The Brand<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-brand-extension\/#Cafe_Lacoste_How_the_Brand_Comes_Alive_as_a_Multi-Sensory_Space\" >Caf\u00e9 Lacoste: How the Brand Comes Alive as a Multi-Sensory Space<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-brand-extension\/#A_Brand_Extension_Strategy_That_Builds_Connections_Beyond_Fashion\" >A Brand Extension Strategy That Builds Connections Beyond Fashion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_The_Brand\"><\/span>About The Brand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lacoste was founded by tennis champion Ren\u00e9 Lacoste in the 1920s, who broke with tradition by creating the first short-sleeved polo shirt for better performance and comfort on the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand&#8217;s identity is defined by a spirit of innovation, combined with elegance. The iconic crocodile logo (originally Ren\u00e9\u2019s nickname) became the first to appear on clothing and soon gained global recognition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Lacoste blends sports and fashion, offering a range of apparel and accessories, including apparel, shoes, sportswear, eyewear, leather accessories, fragrances, towels, and watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cafe_Lacoste_How_the_Brand_Comes_Alive_as_a_Multi-Sensory_Space\"><\/span>Caf\u00e9 Lacoste: How the Brand Comes Alive as a Multi-Sensory Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"423\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-1024x423.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-1024x423.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-300x124.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-768x318.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-1536x635.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-scaled.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-380x157.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-800x331.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-1160x480.webp 1160w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-3072x1270.webp 3072w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-760x314.webp 760w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-1600x662.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-2320x959.webp 2320w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-1-600x248.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Born from a partnership between Lacoste and the Monaco-based Riccardo Giraudi Group (which offers consulting and art direction services for the restaurant industry), Caf\u00e9 Lacoste finds its home in a stunning Mediterranean setting.

The cocktails, desserts, and architectural elements are full of subtle references to the brand&#8217;s iconic elements. The entire space was designed to feel true to the brand&#8217;s roots by expressing &#8220;the Lacoste heritage down to the finest details&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DMN1l_4tTzX\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The menu was heavily inspired by both the French bistronomy classics and the brand&#8217;s tennis and golf family heritage. Each dish has been imagined with creativity and careful attention to detail, from its name to how it looks and feels, to the colors and even the sounds of cutlery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu is full of clever touches inspired by Lacoste\u2019s symbols like the crocodile and tennis themes. Every meal becomes a real part of the brand experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The already iconic crunchy pistachio dessert, the \u201cCrocodile,\u201d the \u201cTerre battue\u201d tiramisu, and the Victorine tart \u2014 Ren\u00e9 Lacoste\u2019s favourite dessert \u2014 are must-tries&#8230; as are the eight

Fashion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With this project, Lacoste joins the group of consumer brands exploring the hospitality sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caf\u00e9 Lacoste is more than just a place to eat; it\u2019s a powerful tool for storytelling and for reinforcing brand identity. The caf\u00e9 brings Lacoste\u2019s tennis heritage to life by turning its visual codes and distinctive style into a complete lifestyle experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a strong example of brand extension done with care and respect for every detail, staying true to the brand\u2019s spirit at every level. Time will tell if the real-life experience matches the promise, but with a 4.7 rating on Google Maps so far, Lacoste\u2019s move into hospitality seems to be paying off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the brand, this approach not only deepens customer engagement but also strengthens Lacoste\u2019s positioning as a true lifestyle brand. By creating spaces where people can experience Lacoste beyond clothing, the brand builds stronger emotional connections and opens new opportunities for growth and loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-822x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-822x1024.jpg 822w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-768x957.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-1233x1536.jpg 1233w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-380x473.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-800x996.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-1160x1445.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-760x947.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12-482x600.jpg 482w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-12.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-822x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-822x1024.jpg 822w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-768x957.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-1233x1536.jpg 1233w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-380x473.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-800x996.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-1160x1445.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-760x947.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10-482x600.jpg 482w, https:\/\/www.thebrandingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/cafe-lacoste-branding-extension-10.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer cnvs-block-core-spacer-1697033517619\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details cnvs-block-core-details-1697033257649 is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>References<\/summary>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lacoste (2020).&nbsp;<em>About &#8211; Lacoste<\/em>.
