In terms of accessories, the now- essential Chantaco bag, reimagined every season, comes in leather and features the collection’s nautical references and coordinates in the same colour palette as the ready-to-wear pieces. Footwear offered for the season features a leather sandal in both flat and wide, high-heel versions that shows the natural sophistication encountered on the sea front. The LS.12, first seen in 1987 and rediscovered in the brand archives, is a real tennis shoe reedited in leather for the season. It is accompanied by the new Inca, a yachting-inspired style featuring 1990s sportswear codes revisited as a fashion statement, and the Freeglide sneaker, a new style with fun pop stripes on a rubber sole. Aviator-style sunglasses, conceived by the designer, are fully loaded with technical innovations. Like the rest of the Lacoste spring/summer 2015 collection, they’re oozing with style, comfort and performance.
