The MANDARIN REPTILE story began when Shirley Tan, a highly motivated entrepreneur opened a retail boutique – MANDARIN REPTILE HOUSE in Singapore’s premier Orchard shopping precinct in 1983, specializing in Crocodile Skin handbags and other exotic leather accessories.  As the second generation of the family business founded by her late father in 1976, she embarked on expanding the legacy of her father’s entrepreneurial spirit.  Given Singapore’s thriving Crocodile Leather industry at that time, the exquisite quality and meticulous craftsmanship of her products appealed to numerous discerning tourists and local consumers alike.

MANDARIN REPTILE’s successful business philosophy has always been achieved by using premium grade exotic leather, fine quality raw materials, exquisite ornaments and to continuously draw design inspirations from contemporary haute couture trends.  All Crocodile Skins used by MANDARIN REPTILE are cultivated based on modern wildlife management, which adheres strictly to the rules and regulations laid down by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) of which Singapore is a member.

We hope you love our works as much as we do.
