Our story

25 years of success, now that’s something to celebrate!

Captain Tortue was born of a real love story between a businessman and a fashion designer, Philippe and Lillian.

The spring-summer collections have arrived!

04.02.2020

We’re going to shine some sun on your wardrobe!

Little Miss

The babydoll trend is back! The Little Miss collection radiates a light-hearted, 60s atmosphere! With broderie anglaise, floral prints and gourmet and zesty colours!

Miss

Miss unveils her many facets this season!
Globe-trotter, she revamps the marine style with a feminine touch.
A dreamer, she expresses her bohemian side with shades of pink and khaki.
Rebellious, she asserts her green, rock & roll attitude!

Trend

Trend signs a CHIC and ARTY collection. Poppy red splashes out on a structured dress, graphic prints and blocks of Klein blue strike out boldly, while watercolour prints take you on a journey with a palette of aqua and blue.

Java

This spring is urban and graphic in charcoal grey and neon coral. The style is extra feminine with cut-outs and fishnet panels.
The beachwear collection is ready for summer with sunny prints and handmade lace. Elegant and lacy second-skin T-shirts play with transparency and sensuality.

Indian Summer

03.08.2020

It’s time for some Indian Summer in your wardrobe!
Let’s take a look at some of the season’s best pieces!

Little Miss

#1

Little Miss flashes back to the 60s and celebrates the pink attitude with this stunning completely pink outfit.

The shirt - both feminine and masculine - is one of those essential unisex pieces every girl needs in her wardrobe.

Inspired by Java, it has an all-over floral and animal motif in soft colours. Wear it with matching pale pink trousers.

They are short, have a regular fit and square pockets. Gorgeous 70s nostalgia!

Miss

Miss is feminine and cool with natural colours inspired by plants.

#1

Colours, prints and flattering transparency… it's perfect.

Summer has finally arrived! Here’s a tangy top with a mix of colourful prints. The piping and pleats on the neckline are divine...and check out the open back with a lovely tie.

It’s so feminine.

You'll love these khaki pants open at the cuff with a tie and sequin trim.

#2

Can ethnic fashion be chic too?

Miss proves it’s possible with this dress featuring floral print and ethnic trim.

Feminine details include black voile plumetis sleeves with a lacy effect and V-neck. What’s more, the regular fit flatters all body types!

#3

Miss has also converted the blazer with her own casual chic version!

It’s casual with a mix of linen and flannel.

And chic sequin details on the elbow patches and shoulders.

Trend

The Trend silhouette is contemporary with an elegant palette of white and unbleached colours featuring pleats, flowing fabrics and structured forms.

#1

With it’s own Trend perfecto. The legendary rock’n roll cut is there, but it’s ecru and lightweight.

How ?

The fabric is soft and lightweight, more like an overshirt than a jacket.

Each piece in our summer wardrobe has WOW effect.

#2

Trend is decidedly chic with coordinated voile prints and sparkling details.

An alternative to trousers, the long tie-and-dye skirt has a contrasting lurex waistband and a shorter underskirt for alluring transparency!

#3

Trend also reveals an arty, graphic influence with this reversible jumper.

The cream version is highlighted by a slightly metallic "rainbow" thread and fuchsia details.

The graphic lines and sleeves with pretty asymmetrical spots are irresistible.

It’s so sophisticated!

Outifits for special occasions

26.06.2020

We feared they’d never make it out of the wardrobe this summer, but the good news is we are going to be able to dress up!

As lockdown is slowly but surely being released, marriages, baptisms and other ceremonies will be back on.
And with them, the famous dilemma: “What shall I wear?”
Finding just the right outfit for a special occasion isn’t easy.
You don’t want to overdo it, but at the same time, you want to look more elegant than usual.

Our tips

Here are a few rules to make sure you look elegant without overdoing it and you don’t make a faux pas:

-   Avoid all-white...especially for weddings. You don’t want to compete with the bride.
-   Same for black - special occasions are a welcome opportunity to wear colours!
Bright, tangy colours!
-   Stay decent: no plunging necklines or mini-skirts. Don’t reveal too much!

The other challenge is to refresh your style! That’s right! Everyone remembers what you wore to the last wedding, so you can’t possibly wear the same outfit. Which is rather a shame...because it would be so much easier!

Why not buy a new outfit for wow factor? Captain Tortue has a few suggestions.

A few suggesttions

The crepe jumpsuit from the Little collection with a lacy back insert is extremely chic.
The little bit extra? You can also dress it down for casual wear with trainers!

The Trend collection’s blue dress with an asymmetrical base and black chain for glam-rock style!

Or a white dress - yes - with graphic lurex details for a chic but sporty effect! Try it with contrasting heels!

A jumpsuit, linen... This jumpsuit is the ultimate in lightweight elegance.

And finally, the gorgeous maxi-dress from Trend in summery coral!

So? Decided? If you’re shopping for an outfit for a special occasion, come this way!

Your colour profile

17.06.2020

As you know, pop-up shops are a friendly, personal shopping experience.
Our fashion consultants are like fashion coaches. They analyse your colouring and shape so they can give you the best possible advice.

What is a colour profile?

Analyse your colouring and discover your colour profile.
The idea is simple: some colours flatter us and others don’t at all.
It is essentially a question of shades. No colours are totally out of the question.

Certain colours flatter your appearance depending on the hues of your complexion, eyes and hair.

Colour profiles

Here are some easy tips to identify your colour profile.
First, you need to know whether warm or cool colours suit you best.
The names of the seasons are used to refer to different colour profiles.
Each season represents a palette of colours.
If you are summer or winter, cool colours suit you best. On the other hand, if you are spring or autumn, your colour profile is warm.

Identify your colour profile

Gold or silver?

It’s easy to determine your colour temperature. Simply do the famous mirror test.
Hold gold, then silver, fabric close to your face. Observe the impact of each colour on your face.
The colour that suits you makes your complexion brighter, more radiant, and your eye colour is more intense.

Blue or green?

There is another technique that confirms the first test: look at your veins.
If they are greenish, your colour profile is probably a warm season. And vice versa, if they are blue, you probably have a cool profile.
Beware of presumptions: yellow is not necessarily a warm colour nor blue a cold colour. It all depends on the intensity and hue. For example, turquoise blue is a warm colour and acid yellow is cool.

An important detail

The colour of your trousers or skirt is not very important. It’s important to wear your colours close to your face to brighten your complexion.

Good news! We offer a way to earn extra income with a fun job!
That’s right! It’s possible to earn money and have fun. Why not?

We are about to reveal our secret to finding an exciting job and extra income.

Style Consultant - extra income

Style consultants are completely independent personal shoppers. They visit their hostess’s homes to present the four Captain Tortue collections and give advice and body shape tips.

Zoom on the advantages of this job with extra income.

Very attractive income

It’s not just a job for extra money.

It’s a dream job AND the amount of extra income matches your contribution.
Here are some concrete examples of how much extra income you can earn.
We understand that if you already have a job, you don’t necessarily have much time for a second job.

The main advantage of becoming a style consultant is that you choose how much and when you work.

That’s the real advantage! It’s a very flexible way to earn extra income.

First of all, a pop-up shop lasts about three hours.
For 1 pop-up shop per week, you can earn at least €200 per month.
If you do 2 pop-up shops, your income can increase to over €500 per month.

And if you have more time, you can earn over €1,500 for 3 pop-shops per week.
Your extra income matches your effort

Your efforts are rewarded

The more pop-up shops you organise, the more money you earn.
Your efforts are rewarded.
And you organise your timetable to suit you. A job that adapts to YOU.

No constraints

As we mentioned before, there are no time constraints which is a great advantage.
But the advantages of this job for extra income don’t stop there.
Read on...

No upfront investment

The difference between this job and other home-based businesses is there is no upfront investment. We give you the Captain Tortue collections.
It doesn’t cost you anything to get started.

Top up your monthly income and enjoy the many advantages

A flexible schedule and a free collection… that’s a good start! But there’s more.
New style consultants have a trial period of 1 to 2 months depending on when you start. You start with peace of mind.

What’s more, a coach helps you get started. We know you want to be independent, but we give you a leg up.
You also have access to professional and certificate training to help you acquire recognition.

And we spoil our style consultants every day with gifts, jewellery, travel, invitations to fashion shows and 50% off clothing.
