"Long and steady" is their motto. Tortoise is a shop started by a husband and wife who recently moved to LA from Tokyo. They started up in response to the modern-day irony of extended human lifespan versus increasingly disposable man-made products.

my boyfriend and i were strolling along abbot kinney when we first stumbled into this little shop. so many unique and beautiful items, such a great aesthetic! plus, i love their motto and mission statement. i remember there were these ceramic cups in the shape of plasticware--how did they find such a great embodiment of their statement on the irony of life's longevity vs. disposable goods? perfect. andrea on Oct 13, 2006
Funny, I just read about that shop on a new blog (www.sacredcity.blogspot.com) ! They mention the mission statement too. Cool. Shaney on Oct 12, 2006
