Good afternoon ladies. I have an important announcement to make to you all:
This week, our long-standing French supplier Maison Captain announced that, after 33 remarkable years, they will be closing.
We are deeply saddened by this news, and today we take a moment to celebrate all the incredible memories, fun, and friendship we’ve shared with the Maison Captain team. They have been such an important part of our journey, and we send our heartfelt thanks and very best wishes to our friends in France 🇫🇷
To reassure our customers: Tortue UK is not closing, and we still have stock available.
Despite the challenges of recent years - including Brexit - Tortue UK has continued to grow and thrive. We are now approaching the £2 million sales milestone, supported by an exceptional team and a loyal community who truly value our boutique-feel, personalised shopping experience.
Our friendships, our community, and our commitment to fashion, fun, and connection have only grown stronger over the last three years.
And this is far from the end of our story.
Tortue UK remains THE HOME OF FASHION, FUN & FRIENDS.
✨ The adventure continues.
Thank you for all your support over the years. We all really appreciate it and we are excited about where our next journey will take us. Watch this space! ❤️
