The Story Behind Our Famous Oblong Tote Bag

By Oblong Turtle

Once upon a tide, in a quiet coastal town, there lived a curious turtle—not round, not square, but delightfully oblong. Unlike other turtles, this one wasn’t in a rush. It liked to take the scenic route, picking up treasures from the shore, storing keepsakes in its shell, and always having room for one more beautiful thing.

That turtle inspired us.

Just like our namesake, the Oblong Tote Bag is built to wander, to carry, and to hold memories. It’s roomy, resilient, and designed with thoughtful detail. Whether you're headed to a gallery opening, a quiet weekend escape, or a city café, the Oblong Tote moves with ease, becoming part of your rhythm.

The canvas will age beautifully with time, telling your story through softened folds and subtle wear. It is a companion—not for seasons, but for years.

Crafted for the curious, and made for the mindful—our tote is more than just a bag. It’s a little piece of the Oblong Turtle spirit: slow, intentional, and always ready for adventure.

This is canvas, elevated.
This is utility, reimagined.
This is the art of quiet luxury......

Oblong Turtle. For those who carry the earth with grace.
