We’re just one week away from the French Open. Cue the excitement! Don’t worry, if you haven’t booked your tickets yet, you can still get the Roland Garros experience (or at least pretend you did) by visiting their shop online.
For the Fashionista
If you’re looking for a little more than your average souvenir t-shirt, you may want to check out this great Lacoste blazer, emblazoned with the company’s signature croc and the words “Roland Garros” underneath. Fashion doesn’t come cheap though, this lovely jacket will set you back a 168 euros, or the equivalent of $215, plus shipping…
For the T-Shirt Collector
There are plenty of people, me being one of them, who like to bring back a t-shirt from each tournament they visit. Personally, I would usually go with the Roland Garros poster shirt of the year, but the 2012 design just doesn’t do it for me. This shirt, on the other hand, has a cool vintage feel, and even though it’s billed as a men’s shirt, athletic t-shirts can really go either way.
For the Hardcore Fan
Can’t make it to Paris? Bring a little bit of Paris to you with this jar of red clay. What? You think a $20 bottle of dirt is a little much? That’s why it’s for hardcore fans only.
For the Timepiece Enthusiast
Are swatches still popular? I’m not really sure, but I would definitely sport this special Roland Garros edition. It even comes in a novelty tennis ball case! Plus, the numbers on the dial glow in the dark, so you will always know when to wake up for those early morning matches.
For the Bargain Hunter
Every good shop has a sale section, and that includes RG. You’ll find your pick of last year’s designs as well as this lovely Lacoste number, which doesn’t include a year so it’ll never go out of style. The best part? It’s marked down to more than half off the original price and it’s available in three colors.
