di CROCO
This luxury goods company based in Darwin specialises in turning farmed Australian
saltwater crocodile skins into high quality handbags, accessories and jewellery. The
boutique in Darwin’s Smith Street Mall provides a centrally located venue for accompanying
partner cocktail parties or morning tea events for groups up to 30 guests. The Managing
Director of di CROCO, Heather Brown, is an accomplished presenter and has vast
knowledge on the exotic business of crocodile farming.
Larger groups can be accommodated by including the nearby Paspaley Pearls store,
enabling two groups at each property, with a swap-over at a designated time. Special trading
times can also be arranged to accommodate busy conference programme schedules.
di CROCO Darwin is Australia’s only retail store for the brand, which enhances the
exclusivity and prestige of the products. Australian saltwater crocodile skins are highly prized
throughout the world and fetch record prices due to the softness and quality of the skin, as
well as the unique scale pattern. Hermès, the renowned French manufacturer of quality
goods, is the largest purchaser of Australian crocodile skins.
Extensive product choices are available for ladies and men, with many items small in size
but high in value, making them easily portable for recipients to take home. di CROCO
products can be purchased as speakers gifts, delegate welcome or event mementos, and
also make an impressive teaser or pillow gift for incentives.
In response to strong corporate gift demand, the di CROCO range of accessories has been
significantly expanded for 2014. It now includes crocodile skin USB cases, key rings, pens,
money clips, handbag holders, business card holders and the very popular multi-purpose
‘technology pouches’ which can house large and small electronic tablets, Kindles and Ereaders. These very practical pouches are also ideal for storage of technology equipment
chargers and cords and can also be used for passports and travel documents.
Other news is the expansion of the ‘Made in Milan’ collection, with new handbags, new
colours (matt taupe, orange and bougainvillea) and accessories such as purses, travel and
men’s wallets. New jewellery concepts include the “Pebbles” collection which features
sterling silver with a matte “rumbled” finish – earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets are
available. The di CROCO kangaroo and crocodile skin combination in shopping tote bags
and technology pouches is also expected to be very popular in 2014.
The exemplary di CROCO customer service extends to ensuring that items purchased as
speaker or delegate gifts can be individually tagged with recipient names or special ribbons
making them ready-to-go for presentations. Each di CROCO item is attractively packaged
and comes with a certificate of authenticity indicating it is genuine farmed crocodile skin from
Australia, an important consideration for those recipients returning to overseas destinations.
di CROCO attended AIME for the first time in 2013 and was delighted with the enthusiastic
response from event planners who purchased delegate and speakers gifts for their NT
events. A number of these clients have already become repeat customers, purchasing items
for other business events held elsewhere in Australia.
