Tortoiseshell is one of the most classically beautiful eyewear colors, evoking vintage elegance with its natural, effortless charm. Many people may not know that tortoiseshell comes from a type of sea turtle. Tortoiseshell glasses, which appeared in the 1920s, were originally made from tortoise shells, resulting in warm and rich hues. However, with tortoises becoming endangered, genuine tortoiseshell eyewear has nearly vanished. Today, the industry uses durable materials to replicate the look of tortoiseshell, offering a variety of colors and patterns.
The eyewear brand TORTZ draws its design inspiration from the timeless beauty of tortoiseshell glasses. The “TORT” in its name is derived from “Tortoiseshell,” symbolizing the iconic tortoiseshell pattern. This name not only represents the design elements of the products but also reflects the brand’s commitment to unique style, sustainability, and exquisite craftsmanship. The “Z” stands for “Zenith,” signifying the brand’s pursuit of excellence in both classic design aesthetics and sustainable development.

Three Key Design Features of TORTZ Eyewear
✜
1 / Delicate and Pleasing Embossed Patterns
TORTZ strives for perfection in the details of its eyewear, continually innovating in both form and structure. The Japanese embossed design, crafted in Japan, features strikingly present contours while maintaining a gentle aura, exuding elegance and charm.
2 / Spring Hinge Temples
TORTZ has developed its own spring hinge mechanism, with innovative temple designs made from high-quality β-titanium. When folded, they bend into a gentle curve, achieving a rubber band-like effect that distributes pressure points, enhancing tensile strength and significantly improving flexibility for a more comfortable fit. Additionally, the unique curves create a signature yet graceful silhouette, showcasing a light and ethereal quality. This design embodies high-end concepts of Japanese ergonomic design while reflecting the artistic essence of TORTZ creations.
3 / Craftsmanship of Tortoiseshell
TORTZ selects high-quality materials and utilizes skilled artisans to craft glasses that possess the charming and delicate texture reminiscent of genuine tortoiseshell eyewear. The brand’s tortoiseshell glasses are rich and diverse, made in various colors and patterns, featuring high transparency and unique luster. Users can appreciate the depth of history and the excellence of quality embodied in the frames.
