A dash of whimsy, a blend of bright & bold colors, & a splash of sarcasm is what makes Turtle's Soup!
We're a fun and whimsical gift and stationery brand based in the magical desert of Tucson, Arizona!
As the Creative Director of Turtle's Soup, Melanie's influences stem from her childhood passion for playfully catching all sorts of critters,
from speedy lizards to slithering snakes, and slippery octopus while tide pooling in Mexico. Many of her inspiration is found in pattern design,
plants, animals, and being surrounded by our beautiful desert landscape.
In 2021, we've seen the company blossom from its roots as a small Etsy startup
to an internationally recognized brand carried by over 800 retailers worldwide.
Turtle's Soup has been featured in many publications including BuzzFeed, People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly,
New York Magazine, Business Insider, Salon, Refinery29, Huffington Post, and more!
Chris & Mel enjoy the company of their two cats, Luna and Shelby, Midnight the hamster and Torta, the redfoot tortoise.
We also enjoy hiking, playing video games, hitting up local thrift stores, collecting and caring for plants, cooking together, and hanging out with our friends.
Thank you for reading and we hope you have a blast checking out our line!
