Turtle Bags

The concept of Turtle Bags was inspired by Turtles: these ancient creatures were around on the planet when the dinosaurs were here. There are five species of turtles which visit us in the UK. They travel thousands of kilometres in the summer months looking in particular for jellyfish. The most frequently sighted turtles are the leatherback. Tragically the biggest member of the turtle family is prone to mistaking the discarded bags that litter the world's oceans with jellyfish - its only source of food.

Turtle Bags supplies a range of bags and work with a number of organisations around the globe who share our commitment to the environment.

Turtle Bags is a Fair Trade Company and proud to be a recognised importer with the British Association for Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS).

 

Sustainability: We work with a small number of fair trade producers we are committed to a two way long term partnership working together to develop new products.

Women’s Empowerment: Through working with marginalised small scale producers we seek to do trade in a way which will support and empower vulnerable communities and women in particular.
