Lacoste’s Revenge
In 2019, across all generations, Tommy Hilfiger is in first place, followed by Lacoste and Ralph Lauren.
If Lacoste is now in second place in the ranking, it is partly thanks to a constantly growing share of the portfolio (+9pp since 2017), a sign that the new positioning operated by the crocodile brand is working. If we observe the brand’s performance in the past, we can see for all generations, Lacoste was behind Ralph Lauren in 2018. Will Lacoste manage to climb to the top of the podium in 2020?
Seducing the Boomer Generation
Foxintelligence’s technology, and our panel, allows us to go even further and look at how this podium can be split by generation.
Interesting insight, Ralph Lauren takes the first place in the Boomer segment (1946–1960), which is an attractive but difficult population to seduce in the fashion world. Lacoste retains the second place and Tommy Hilfiger finds this time the last place.
The second-hand market
The second-hand market is growing rapidly, with 3 main players: Vinted, Vestiaire Collective and Videdressing. Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste and Ralph Lauren can be found on Vinted, the leading platform for second-hand clothes. On this website, which is mainly appreciated by the younger generation, Lacoste is in the first place, followed by Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. It confirms Lacoste’s growing success!
On Vinted, Lacoste items are sold on average at a price of €27, while Tommy Hilfiger €25 and Ralph Lauren €24.
