About

Mr. Tortoise is an eyewear boutique nestled in the heart of Soho, London, that pays homage to the timeless elegance of artisanal eyewear.

It presents a curated selection of handmade spectacles and sunglasses that celebrate craftsmanship and style.

Mr. Tortoise’s journey began with a deep appreciation for Japanese artistry that inspired the first concept store where passion and care converged.

The name, Mr. Tortoise, honours the rich tradition of crafting glasses from genuine tortoise shell—a nod to the allure and heritage of artisanal eyewear.

Situated in the eclectic neighbourhood of Soho, the store invites visitors to explore the intersection of luxury and legacy, where each frame tells a unique story that you can take away with you.

From the moment one steps inside Mr. Tortoise, the collection of titanium, handmade buffalo, and tortoise shell frames intrigues. Each piece reflects Mr. Tortoise's unwavering commitment to quality and design, ensuring that each customer finds a frame that supports their vision and elevates their style.
