The Collection

Wear the Yield.

Every garment in the Fur of the Turtle line is the direct result of responsible chelonia husbandry and closed-loop material recovery. Nothing is wasted. Everything is worn.

Our Materials

What Is Chelonia Cashmere?

Chelonia Cashmere is the proprietary fiber recovered from the seasonal undercoat of our farm-raised turtle population. Harvested during the annual molt cycle, each fiber is catalogued, graded, and processed on-site under HAB compliance protocols. The result is a textile of unusual warmth, surprising softness, and unimpeachable provenance.
