Codi, Lacoste's character created for China

01

The character system

One character.
A cultural calendar.

Codi extends an established global icon into a flexible local character: recognisably Lacoste, but able to dress, move and respond to the moments that shape culture in China.

Codi character variants for 520, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year

02

A consistent framework

Built to change
with the moment.

Clothing, colour, symbols and settings change from one occasion to the next. The character, attitude and Lacoste codes remain consistent, creating continuity across the year.

03

From system to stories

A world Codi
can live in.

Each moment becomes its own illustrated story rather than a simple seasonal reskin—giving Codi a role, an emotion and a reason to be there.
