Lacoste 119 – Preppy icon | 80s

Lacoste 119 – French preppy heritage | 80s

Step back into the refined sport-luxury of the 1980s with these authentic frames from Lacoste. Representing the height of French "preppy" style, this pair is a testament to the era when Lacoste defined elegant sportswear. Carefully handpicked and restored, these frames are a standout choice for those seeking a unique piece of European eyewear history with a story of its own.

Distinctive designer style

The 119 model is a quintessential example of 80s French chic. It features a sophisticated, slightly oversized silhouette crafted from crystal-clear transparent acetate, accented with iconic cream and yellow "sand" details at the temples. The signature golden crocodile logo on the side serves as a subtle yet powerful mark of status. This color palette (Col. 3221) offers a light, airy look that feels remarkably modern, making these glasses a perfect bridge between vintage tennis-culture and contemporary high-fashion.

Condition and restoration

These vintage frames have been meticulously inspected and brought back to their full glory. To ensure they are ready for a new chapter, they have been professionally upgraded with brand-new brown gradient lenses (Cat 3, 100% UV protection). The soft gradient tint not only complements the warm yellow accents of the frame but also provides excellent visual clarity and a luxurious "jet-set" look, ensuring these French icons are as functional as they are stylish.
