The Turtle Shop

Wear it, or give it a second life.

Slow is still moving.

Two shelves, one shop. Turtle merch you can wear, made only when you order it. And ThriftT, good clothes passed on for a second life. One is new and mine, one is used and headed somewhere better. Both try to waste as little as possible.

Shelf one · merch

Turtle things, made to order.

Shirts, hats, and hoodies with the turtle on them. Here is the good part: nothing is printed until you buy it, so there is no overstock, no landfill pile of unsold stuff, and no guessing. You order it, it gets made, it comes to you.

Slow is still moving, in fleece.

Shelf two · ThriftT

Good clothes, a second life.

ThriftT is the resale side, where good clothes I am done with go to someone who will actually wear them. Thrifty for your wallet, and easy on the planet. Every piece that gets reworn is one that did not have to be made, and one that stayed out of a landfill. A turtle cares about that.

Thrifty

Good pieces for less than new, because someone already paid full price the first time.

Reuse

A closet clear-out becomes a second life, not a trash bag.

Better for the planet

Less made, less thrown away. Small, but it adds up, one turtle at a time.

And because this is The Trying Turtle, the whole thing is also an experiment I am running out loud: what sells, what does not, and everything you would want to know before you try clearing out your own closet for cash.
