 Heng Long's crocodilian skin goes into the briefcase by luxury Italian label, Stefano Ricci.
"RUSSIANS AND Middle Easterners are adding to the demand for European luxury goods," says Mr Koh Choon Heong, an executive director of Heng Long, one of 5 crocodilian skin tanneries used by luxury goods makers today.
Like luxury goods makers, the high-end tanneries form an oligopoly, meaning they have pricing power with customers and suppliers.
"Luxury goods demand is unaffected by recessions," adds the management of the 50-year old Singapore tannery.

 21 stocks with dividend yield over 5% going ex now till Dec 08.
FTSE ST All-shares Index has dived 25% since Jan and many stocks are emerging as dividend plays in the past one year of market sell down.
In our search for neglected stocks to pick out of the bloodshed, we came across K1 Ventures, which does not have any direct analyst coverage and is usually taken at market value in the sum-of-the-parts valuation of Keppel Corp, which holds 36% in it.
The venture fund emerged not only as one of the highest dividend yielding stocks, it also turned out to be one of the few small-caps that appreciated in price since the beginning of this year.
