Greenbelt 5 has gone tennis chic this month, as its Fashion Center transformed into a Courtside Garden pop-up running until Sept. 30.
The launch drew a starry guest list led by SSI Group, Inc. president and CEO Anton Huang, with Nikki Huang, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, actresses Bela Padilla, Sarah Lahbati, and Sofia Andres. Also spotted were Cheska Garcia of SSI, Phoebe Wong of Lacoste APAC, and Ina Garcia of SSI.
At the heart of the installation is the Lenglen bag—named after tennis legend Suzanne Lenglen—which has already become a fashion must-have since debuting at the Fall-Winter 2024 show.
Guests got first dibs on six fresh colorways, from Silver Mirror and Honey to Elderton and Kaki. Gray shone with the XXS Lenglen in Silver Mirror, Padilla carried a small Honey, Lahbati held the Elderton, while Andres kept it chic with the small Kaki.
The bag, available in XXS to M, comes with roomy compartments, a crocodile pull tab, and straps for both day-to-night wear. Pop-up shoppers also scored early access to Fall-Winter 2025 shades—including Silver Mirror, White, and Honey—alongside core favorites Noir and Kaki.
Coffee flowed freely for visitors, while lucky buyers walked away with crocheted charms made just for the event.
The pop-up is the latest in a long tradition of mixing sport with style, a legacy stretching back to 1933 when René Lacoste debuted the now-iconic polo shirt. Today, the brand stands as a symbol of elegance in nearly 100 countries worldwide.
