It’s been a five-year hiatus since Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus’s last run-in with Lacoste. That was back in 2010 when they celebrated the 60th anniversary of Peanuts – one of the world’s most popular comic strips that was created by Charles M. Schulz. Fast-forward to November 2015 and they are collaborating again to launch a second collection for fall.
The collaboration, with the French sportswear brand and Peanuts, introduces a series of tops, including Lacoste’s signature polo shirt that comes in white, navy and chiné grey for adults. They look especially cute on men we think. And for children, it also comes in pink. Polo shirts and sweatshirts immortalise each character by a series of sketches of each one getting up to mischief – no doubt. Snoopy is seen crocodile fishing from his doghouse rooftop, Linus gently wrestles a reptile for his blanket and Lucy (the perfectionist) talks a croc into a game of tennis. Hayato Kohama, creative advisor to the Peanuts line, said: “The Lacoste crocodile would fit right in with the Peanuts gang.”
