The STRONG T-shirt

This October, we’re seeing everything through rose-tinted spectacles!  #PinkOctober. 

It’s the perfect opportunity for us to talk to you about our commitment to this campaign: For many years now, Captain Tortue has been working with a range of different associations across Europe that are involved in the fight against breast cancer.

This year, we have designed our STRONG t-shirt. Each t-shirt costs 41€, 11€ of which will be donated to organisations which have made fighting this disease their top priority.

PINK OCTOBER

Every October, the PINK OCTOBER campaign raises awareness of the fight against breast cancer by informing, discussing and mobilising. 

For all the associations that support medical and scientific research and that inform as many people as possible about breast cancer, Pink October is an opportunity to shine a light on those fighting this disease, to increase awareness and to raise even more funds to help researchers and nursing staff. 

1 in 8 women are at risk of developing breast cancer. Providing information about early detection helps to save thousands of lives and is essential.

Pink October is a national campaign, thanks to a number of key players dedicated to the fight against breast cancer that grows every year.

Even though considerable progress has been made in medical research and in improving the quality of life of people suffering from this disease, we must continue the fight! 
 

Captain Tortue has come up with some new ideas for a more environmentally friendly start to the school year 

CAPTAIN TORTUE is one of the major players in the transition towards more environmentally friendly fashion! 
All our teams are passionate about this issue, and we all share the same objective: to reduce the environmental impact of the clothes that we design a little more each season. 
We imagine the future by looking ahead but also by looking around us. 

To achieve our objectives, we’re working on rethinking our design processes, carefully selecting our fabrics and optimising our transportation methods while continuing to produce high-quality and beautiful pieces for you to enjoy. Our ultimate aim is to reduce our impact throughout the lifecycle of our products. 
It’s a long process which involves us working closely and in complete transparency with our partners and suppliers and moving forwards together towards a greener fashion industry. 
It’s something that we’re building step by step and that we want to share with you from the start, season after season. 
 

BACK TO SCHOOL : AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY START TO THE SCHOOL YEAR

WE'RE GOING FROM BLUE TO GREEN

Any guesses as to what we’re talking about?

Blue = Denim
Green = Environmentally friendly

A symbol of our transition, denim is the first product impacted by our new environmentally friendly approach. Discover our two latest pieces made from organic cotton:

CAPTAIN TORTUE is once again taking action for the environment

Over the last few months, all of us here at CAPTAIN TORTUE have been supporting causes that are close to our heart :

My CAPTAIN TORTUE holiday suitcase

Summer’s here and we can finally meet our friends for a drink, a nice dinner in a restaurant and get out our light, summer outfits so that we can enjoy the warm weather.
It’s also the moment that we’ve all be waiting for - our summer holidays! Here at Captain Tortue, we wanted to share the holiday ideas of some of our team with you.
Where are you going this summer? Seaside or countryside? What’s your favourite holiday book, film or series? What are your top tips for a great summer? And more importantly, which CAPTAIN TORTUE pieces will you be slipping in your suitcase?
Dresses, jumpsuits, skirts, trousers, shorts and accessories, there’s something for everyone in our summer collection! Take a look: pop-up shop.

CAPTAIN TORTUE is committed to change!

Over the last few months, we have made a commitment, in partnership with some wonder-ful associations and charities or just internally, to support a wide variety of causes! Carry on reading to find out more about the different campaigns that we have been involved in since the start of the year:

When forgotten fabric is transformed into stylish pieces

For the first time ever, CAPTAIN gave unused fabric a new lease of life and used it to create a limited edition collection of stylish bags and notebooks in four unique prints!
It was hard for our customers to choose between them, but they were all sold out within a day.

CAPTAIN Tortue supports REFOREST’ACTION

This year, Captain Tortue took action to support the charitable organisation REFOREST’ACTION by offering our hostesses and consultants the following: 1 pop-up shop held = 1 tree planted

We are proud to be working to reduce our impact on the environment by planting trees. Result: 2,222 trees will be planted in Brazil and Haiti!

What is REFOREST’ACTION?

Created in 2010, Reforest’Action is a reforestation company. Their mission is to give everyone the opportunity to restore and protect the world’s forests. Forests are the biggest carbon sinks that we can have an impact on and they’re home to 80% of the planet’s biodiversity.

#4 Earth Day

To celebrate Earth Day, Captain Tortue wanted to share some of the ways that our team helps to protect the planet:

Mona has adopted some chickens, Morgane makes her own laundry detergent, Mathilde creates her own cosmetics, Anne makes compost and Caroline travels to work by bike...

#5 A nod to Fashion Revolution Week

The Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh on the 24th of April 2013 resulted in the death of thousands of workers and had a massive impact on the textile industry...
In the aftermath of this tragic accident, the global fashion community came together to form a movement that aims to improve working conditions in factories around the world: FASHION REVOLUTION WEEK

Here at Captain Tortue, we wanted to shine a light on the fantastic initiatives put in place by our long-term partner in Madagascar to protect their workers:
