The works will be available for sale online from December 7 in several countries (United States, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, Philippines). An augmented reality experience accompanies this initiative and offers Lacoste customers an immersive online visit in a virtual gallery imagined to measure, where the works hanging on the walls can be viewed by everyone.

The Lacoste Gallery also responds to the enthusiasm of the brand's customers for works from Lacoste's private collection exhibited in stores, until then not available for sale. The proposed collection will be regularly updated with exclusive and unpublished works that are part of the news and highlights of the brand.
