Story & heritage
The Elly is Bensimon's official laceless tennis shape, filed by the brand under its 'Without laces - plain' tennis category. It keeps eyelets on the upper but replaces tied laces with an elastic pull-on construction.
That makes it one of the clearest offshoots of La Tennis Bensimon: still fine, light and recognisably canvas, but easier to slip on for everyday wear.
Materials & craft
The official page describes the Elly as handmade in Europe from natural rubber and cotton, with the same hand-dye process in France used across the classic tennis family. Its composition section lists 100% OEKO-TEX class 100 certified cotton for upper, lining and insole, plus a rubber outsole.
How to choose & style
Wear Elly when you want the Bensimon profile without visible laces: it suits cropped trousers, ankle-length denim and casual skirts where a clean vamp matters.
