History
Chan sold the business in 1987 to Lai Sun Garment, controlled by the late billionnaire Lim Por Yen.[1]
Crocodile Garments originally sold dress shirts before expanding to become the largest chain garment store in Hong Kong. They exported to Japan, Singapore and other Asian Countries. A second line called Cal-Thomas was started in CA, USA. Crocodile emerged as the leading fashion label[citation needed] with the expansion of a woman's line and children's line called CrocoKids. At its peak, Crocodile garments was the largest garment chain before the conception of G2000, Giordano, U2 and Bossini in the 1990s.[citation needed]
Legal dispute with Lacoste
Crocodile had a long-standing dispute over the logo and clothing lines with Lacoste. Crocodile uses a crocodile logo that faces left while Lacoste uses one that faces right. The two fought for the logo rights in China, but eventually reached a compromise. Crocodile agreed to change its logo to have a more vertical tail and more scales for its logo.[2]
