Shop Lacoste France and Ship to Canada

lacoste.com/fr is Lacoste's French home market and the deepest, earliest catalogue the crocodile sells anywhere: the full L.12.12 petit-piqué polo spectrum across every fit — classic, slim, Light, heavy and striped, short- and long-sleeve — alongside Made-in-France editions and European-first capsules and collabs (Edition Bresil, Lacoste x Club Med, Lacoste x Gentle Mates) that the smaller Lacoste Canada catalogue often skips or gets late. Prices are set in euros at the brand's domestic level, and French soldes plus Friends & Family events surface markdowns the Canadian site rarely matches. The headline gap on a single icon is modest at full price — the signature Original L.12.12 polo is EUR 110 on .fr versus C$135 on lacoste.com/ca/en — so the real win comes from the exclusives Canada can't sell, the French sale pricing, and avoiding inflated Canadian markups on collab and limited pieces.

The catch is that lacoste.com/fr is built to deliver inside France and the EU and won't ship direct to a Canadian address — Canadian shoppers are normally bounced to lacoste.com/ca/en. A free EU forwarding address is what unlocks the .fr checkout: you buy on the French site, we receive your crocodile haul at our European warehouse, then forward it to your door in Canada. Prices below are typical lacoste.com/fr listings (EU VAT included) and move with new drops, the twice-yearly soldes and the EUR/CAD rate. Build a basket, register your free EU address, then run the on-page calculator before you commit so you see the full landed cost to Canada in CAD — items, forwarding and Canadian import charges together.

Lacoste apparel uses European/French numeric sizing rather than S/M/L, so the number on the label isn't the number Canadians are used to. For men's tops the rule of thumb is 2=XS, 3=S, 4=M, 5=L, 6=XL, 7=XXL (chest in cm: S~38, M~40, L~42, XL~44). Canada uses US/alpha sizing, which maps roughly 1:1 to these — Lacoste 3=US Small, 4=Medium, 5=Large, 6=XL. The L.12.12 polos run fairly true to size; the slim-fit bodies sit shorter and closer, so size up if you want a looser drape. Shoes are listed in EU sizes — convert to the US sizing Canadian shoppers use: EU 40~US 7.5, EU 42~US 9, EU 43~US 10, EU 45~US 11.5, EU 46~US 12 (men's).

Use the table below as a starting point, then always confirm against the specific product's own size chart on lacoste.com/fr before you order — fit varies by cut, and slim differs from classic. Because a .fr order is tied to the French market and is effectively final once forwarded to Canada (see Returns), getting the size right the first time is the real money-saver. Fragrance, by the way, is sold in metric volumes (100 ml / 50 ml EDT and EDP) and carries no electrical or voltage concerns — it's perfume and cotton, not electronics.

A single L.12.12 cotton-piqué polo weighs roughly 0.3 kg; boxed and folded with packaging, a one-polo order is about 0.4-0.5 kg. A two-to-three polo order, or a polo-plus-fragrance order, typically runs ~0.6-1.0 kg, and most apparel-only Lacoste parcels to Canada fall in the 0.5-1.5 kg range. Leather sneakers are the heavy, bulky exception — a boxed pair of Carnaby or Powercourt runs ~1.0-1.3 kg actual, but the shoebox bills on volumetric (dimensional) weight, because couriers charge the higher of actual versus volumetric. Volumetric weight is usually length x width x height in cm divided by 5000, so a light but boxy shoe parcel can bill like a heavier one. Flat, dense polos bill close to their real weight, which is exactly why apparel-only Lacoste baskets are so cheap to forward.

The biggest lever you control is consolidation. We hold parcels free at our EU warehouse, so you can combine several lacoste.com/fr orders — or other European stores — into one box, one customs entry and one carrier handling fee, instead of paying those costs per parcel. Pushing your French basket past EUR 80 also earns free Colissimo delivery to our EU address before we forward. Exact EU-to-Canada cost depends on final weight and box dimensions, so register your free EU forwarding address to lock in your .fr checkout address, then run the on-page calculator for a precise Europe-to-Canada quote before you buy.

Lacoste offers free returns on lacoste.com orders within 30 days of receipt — items must be unworn (try-on only), undamaged, unwashed, with original tags and packaging, and refunds land after the warehouse receives the parcel (allow ~10-15 days). The practical catch for Canada: that free-return label and 30-day clock apply to a return shipped back inside France or Europe to the original EU delivery address. They do not cover a parcel already re-forwarded to Canada. Once an item lands in Canada via a forwarder, sending it back means a costly international return at your own expense, likely missing the window, and no easy refund of the Canadian import duty or tax you already paid.

Transit makes it worse: the 30-day clock keeps running while your parcel crosses the Atlantic. The practical takeaway is to decide sizing carefully and treat every Lacoste France purchase as effectively final once forwarded — which is exactly why nailing the French/EU size up front is the real money-saver. If you're unsure on fit, the smart play is to order two sizes to your free EU address and return the reject inside Europe on Lacoste's free label — before you forward the keeper to Canada.
