Featuring classic tennis dresses with the brand's iconic GG monogram, polos, and matching sets and for those looking for sleek accessories to complete their tenniscore dressing dreams, the brand also features a new monogram duffle bag, caps, a racket backpack, and leatherwear handbags.
One of creative director Sabato De Sarno's newest collections, the 'Tennis Special', features strong brand motifs that weave together the luxury house's past and present while paying homage to its enduring legacy - all whilst featuring some of the best tennis talent, who champion the brand's attitude on and off the court.
