Lacoste opens Selfridges accessories pop-up to support the Lenglen bag

Selfridges continues to be a pop-up magnet and Lacoste has opened one in the  Accessories Hall of the Selfridges, London flagship with a focus on the brand’s Lenglen bag. 

As well as a one-week-only café, the AW25 pop-up makes the most of the buzz around London during its Fashion Week, although the Accessories Hall space is more durable and will remain open until mid-November.

The pop-up celebrates the brand’s AW25 Fashion Show that fittingly (given the label’s tennis origins) took place on centre court at Roland Garros, Paris, and references the clay surface of the court.

As mentioned, it showcases the brand’s viral pleated leather tennis skirt-inspired bag range, The Lenglen, named after the famous Suzanne Lenglen who was the inaugural world No. 1 from 1921 to 1926. 

And in a global retail exclusive to Selfridges, the space will stock the Leather Racquet bag and the Lenglen Hobo, which reinterprets the codes of the Lenglen Bag “in a softer, more effortless and fluid silhouette”. Made using ultra-soft nappa leather and velvety suede, the Lenglen Hobo can be worn crossbody or carried by hand, thanks to a custom-designed chain and finished with two T-bars that recall the handle of a tennis racket.

Customers will also receive a complimentary leather tennis ball charm with every bag purchase, exclusive to the pop-up.
