# French Heritage Polos Lacoste Emphasizes Domestic Production with Made in France Capsule By Grace Mahas | Published 2025-10-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-made-in-france References: [lacoste](https://www.lacoste.com/ca/en/?dddssg) [Lacoste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-tennis-runways) is leaning into its manufacturing roots with a new collection entirely produced in France, positioning domestically-made basics as the anchor of the brand's offering. The lineup spans both men's and women's categories, featuring the brand's [signature polos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/courtready-polos) alongside complementary layering pieces—zip-up sweatshirts, sweaters, and a piqué dress—all produced using what the brand describes as time-honored techniques and refined materials. The collection draws from Lacoste's heritage as a French sportswear institution, framing the made-in-France designation as both a quality marker and a statement about production values. Striped polos, a recurring design element across genders, sit alongside solid iterations, while the supporting pieces maintain the brand's restrained aesthetic. Sweatpants and zip-ups offer contemporary utility without departing from Lacoste's minimalist vocabulary.
