Tennis champion René Lacoste and knitwear maker André Gillier started Lacoste in France in 1933, putting a crocodile logo on Lacoste's tennis polo. Swiss family group Maus Frères, now MF Brands Group, has owned it since 2012. In India, Sports and Leisure Apparel Ltd has held the licence since 1993, making and selling Lacoste products.
