Are you fed up with juggling your personal obligations with your work life?
Would you like a job with more flexible hours? Flexible working hours have many benefits. 
The biggest advantage of being a style consultant is that you can adapt it to your everyday needs.
Children’s activities, medical appointments, administrative tasks or unforeseen events...flexible hours provide countless advantages.

But there are many constraints when you are an employee including meetings and travel, just to name a few. It can be difficult to find a balance with your personal life.
Try to imagine a job that adapts to you, not the other way around. Sounds like a dream?

How does that work in reality?
First of all, a pop-up shop lasts three hours on average.
It takes three hours to present the collections to your customers and give them fashion advice to optimise their body shapes.
You plan the pop-up shop with your hostess, so you just have to find a time and date that suits you both.
If ever you have a last minute problem, you can make a quick phone call to your hostess and reschedule.
How do you take orders? There is an app called Captain Tortue where you place your orders during the pop-up shop. Your time is completely optimised.

And when you’re not running a pop-up shop, you have time to look for new customers, hostesses and style consultants.
For that part, you are completely autonomous so you can organise yourself as you please.

A style consultant’s job is completely flexible.
They are free to organise their work life from one day to the next. There is no fixed schedule.
If you prefer to work in the evening one week, and on the weekend the following week, it’s up to you! Because you’re the boss!
Are you ready to finally be able to keep all your appointments? To experience serenity and freedom?
 

Our creed is producing fashion for all women, for different styles and for every occasion!
Our four collections of women’s fashion, designed in our Aix-en-Provence premises, have diverse styles.
Miss Captain is a chic and casual range. Trend has a more designer and urban style. And Little Miss is a contemporary “couture” line for small sizes. Finally, the Java collection dresses women in style for three essential atmospheres: loungewear, beachwear and sportswear.

Some of our pieces are available in sizes 4 to 24. We make sure all body shapes are catered for.
But that’s not all. Apart from our collections, we believe that advice is essential for a complete fashion experience.
That’s why we provide a coaching service. Forget impersonal shopping experiences in stores or on the internet.
Having a wardrobe full of fashionable items is one thing but knowing how to put them together is another!
The style consultant’s goal is to help each customer enhance her personal style. Like your own personal shopper, they do everything they can to optimise your features.

As we’ve already mentioned, our shopping concept is based on the pop-up shop, a sort of fashion workshop.
We blend fashion and personalised advice with a fun, friendly experience.

A pop-up shop makes shopping a rich human experience.
Shopping is no longer just a business transaction. It is also a way to develop relations.

What is real luxury? Luxury is enjoying a personalised shopping experience with friends... and at home.

Shopping from the Captain Tortue collections with friends is fun, and you'll love the outfits!
Fashion coaching with a good laugh and a personalised shopping experience.  That’s a Captain Tortue pop-up shop.
Your hostess’s lounge is converted into a pop-up shop for an fabulous shopping spree with friends!

Our pop-up shops bring together a personal shopper with fashion fans and collections designed in France for true shopping delight!
 

Both customers and hostesses enjoy the Fashion Experience, but the involvement of our style consultants is key.
It is their job.

Their goal is success - a lasting success story.

We decided to give all women a chance... regardless of their situation, profile, skills and qualifications.
Two motivations are vital - you want to be your own boss and you want to develop your potential. They are the keys to success at Captain.

Each style consultant starts at her own pace. There is no investment and we provide unlimited assistance.
Our goal? Guide our style consultants to success... To where their ambitions lead them.

The sky’s the limit for our style consultants. They can reach for management positions if that is their ambition. It all depends on your motivation.

Personal development, self-realisation, motivation and optimisation are our buzz words.
Without them, success is not be possible.
 

Adaptability and flexibility

As a style consultant, you are independent so you are free to organise your own time.
You can choose to work full-time or part-time. In the evening or during the day. During the week or on the weekend. It’s entirely up to you. You determine your needs and availability.

Stop dealing with the constant dilemmas of juggling work and home life. You’re the boss!

Unlimited assistance

 You don’t need a qualification or experience in either fashion or sales. We give you all the training you need! And we cover it all, including wording, business techniques and management. You can even follow a free certificate course on our distance-learning platform, the Captain Tortue Academy.
And the administrative side is equally simple. You don’t need any business experience. Captain takes care of everything. 

No financial investment

This probably isn’t the first time you’ve thought about starting your own business, but financial resources can be an obstacle. The advantage at Captain is that you don’t have to invest anything to become a style consultant.
That’s right. We provide the collections and training. No! It’s not a dream.
Changing jobs and becoming your own boss has never been easier!
 

A career

Being your own boss is an end in itself. But if you have even more ambition, you can also become a leader and manage a team of style consultants.

3 July 1993

The beginning of our fabulous adventure.
The day when Philippe, natural businessman, and Lilian Jacquelinet, Dutch-trained dressmaker said “I do”.
That same day - thanks to a year of accounting fees as a wedding gift - they launched their direct-selling brand of children’s clothing. 
 

2003

2003 was a turning point. Captain Tortue went to market with their first iconic women’s collection with chic casual style: Miss Captain.

2004

The Group took its first steps abroad to the UK, Ireland and Spain.

2009

Two new lines were launched, Trend with a designer spirit, and Java, sportswear and homewear, dressing women for every occasion.

2012 

Captain followed their ambition and went further abroad into Austria and Germany. 

2016

The last collection made its appearance with Little Miss, a couture line adapted to small sizes.

2016

Captain inaugurated its brand-new headquarters in Aix en Provence with 7,400m² dedicated entirely to fashion.

2018

Captain celebrated 25 years, a whole quarter-century of love, exchange, fashion and success.

2019

Captain launched its own mobile app! Our 3.0 style consultants can plan, prepare and order with a click. Suffice to say, we have overturned all the misconceptions about direct-selling. It is anything but has-been.

2020

Our team has grown: 5,500 style consultants in 9 European countries. 

First of all, a new version of our legendary EVA jeans gets us off to a great start.
You remember the new jeans we created for you that combine sustainable fashion and responsible consumption? These classical jeans are available in two leg lengths to suit all body shapes. 
And now they are also available in white - absolutely essential for summer.

The powder-pink army-style jacket with overstitching, a straight cut and metallic printing on the back is also available in a cement-like colour. It will match your whole wardrobe!

The sailor jumper with broken stripes, made with ribbon fibre and a removable bow has also been completely revised.  This time it’s a white-cement with a black contrast. And what’s more, it’s reversible!

The black cardigan with openwork is also now available in illuminating white to enhance your wardrobe for summer.

What’s happening in the Trend collection? The linen trousers are also going to surprise you! Presented in royal blue for the beginning of the season, they are now available in soft glacier blue.
Of course, they still have their cigarette shape with floral print and lurex piping. A casual chic style!

Java proposes an alternative to the coral maxi jumpsuit with all-over print and a smocked waistband, this time in midnight blue.

The bohemian short jumpsuit takes on a lagoon feel...for an exotic touch. Perfect timing, when we’re all dreaming of escaping!

The tank top from the second-skin range with the droplet on the back has been released for spring in ecru.

Who could forget the Little Miss jumpsuit with lacy detail on the back?
It’s a must! Ideal for all your special events this summer, you can also dress it down with a pair of trainers for a casual everyday outfit.
And guess what! It’s also available in solid black… We’re sure it’s going to be a favourite for summer evenings.

And it’s available in L and XL!

1.Time with friends

Time with friends is obviously the best reason to choose to shop at home! 
Why? What could be more fun than shopping with friends in your living room?

Our fashion pop-up shops, held in our hostesses’ homes, make shopping a rich human experience.
With human relations at two levels: first and foremost, the fashion consultant. They showcase the collection, talk about latest trends, and give fashion tips in the comfort of your hostess’s home.
Secondly, the hostess’s group of friends. We all love having fun with girlfriends - particularly shopping. Trying on clothes, gossiping and having a laugh!
No more shopping alone surrounded by indifferent sales assistants!
 

2.The setting

Shop at home! Our pop-up shops are organised in the warm and cosy environment of our hostesses’ homes! All ready and willing to host fashion shows in their homes.
What could be better than shopping from your sofa?
It’s true. You can shop online in your living room too, but it’s not nearly as fun and friendly as a pop-up shop.
I’m sure we all agree, a friend’s living room has more charm than a high-street shop. In shops, you’re standing all the time, juggling your handbag and other shopping bags, it’s hot, there’s often a crowd... And that’s not even during the sales!
Still not convinced?
 

3.Original collections

Our Captain Tortoise collections are designed in France by our Artistic Director and Co-founder, Lilian Jacquelinet and her team of stylists.
You won’t see our exclusive collections everywhere. Inspire envy!
