There are three crocodile brands, namely LACOSTE, Cartier Crocodile and Hong Kong Crocodile.
1. The legendary story of French LACOSTE brand was born in 1933. In that year, René LACOSTE, the French tennis champion, made a lightweight and comfortable short-sleeved jersey with light and breathable small embossed mesh fabric, which replaced the traditional long-sleeved jersey with hard paste and set off a men's wear revolution, thus creating the classic POLO shirt of Lacoste which is now well known to people.
2. Cartier Crocodile entered Chinese mainland in 1993 and established Shanghai Oriental Crocodile Clothing Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in Singapore. It was authorized by (Singapore) Crocodile International Private Limited to produce and sell CARTELO brand clothing and its series products in Chinese mainland.
3. Crocodile in Hong Kong, also known as "crocodile shirt", is a clothing trademark registered by Germans in Hong Kong in 1911. Germany was defeated in 1945, and the brand of crocodile shirt was confiscated by Hong Kong authorities. In 1952, the Chinese Chen family took over the crocodile brand and officially named it "crocodile shirt". Crocodile T-shirts now belong to the Lin family of Lixin Group, which entered the clothing and leather goods market in Chinese mainland in 1987 and has achieved remarkable results.

Crocodiles are divided into French crocodiles, Hong Kong crocodiles and Katile crocodiles in Singapore. The French "crocodile" was named after the famous French tennis player lacoste. Because of his long nose and aggressiveness, people nicknamed him the crocodile.
The first lacoste white shirt immediately triggered a revolution in the tennis world, replacing the traditional long-sleeved wool sizing shirt that tennis players usually wore at that time. This shirt is slightly shorter than other types of shirts at that time, with hard collar and short sleeves, and is made of "small plain single-sided felt cotton fabric" with light texture and fine weaving.
its advantages of comfortable wearing, firmness and wear resistance have been maintained to this day, making lacoste shirt a unique and unique brand.
