Slow Turtle was founded in 2022 by two individuals whose roots trace back to Korea, but whose creative lens has been shaped through years of living in Toronto.

Born from a desire to bring a broader, deeper expression of style to a city that often feels limited in its fashion landscape, Slow Turtle curates clothing with intention—not just trends.

We focus on brands with distinct, uncompromising identities—labels that stand for something beyond fashion, brands that reflect a clear point of view, a thoughtful approach to design, and a genuine passion for what they create.

Our curation moves from expressive streetwear to refined minimalism—each piece selected through the Slow Turtle lens, with a focus on thoughtful design and a clarity of vision.

We believe in the power of culture, design, and sincerity. When we choose brands, nationality is secondary. What matters most is how a brand speaks to our sense of emotion, silhouette, philosophy, and integrity. Whether it’s from Korea or anywhere else, if it aligns with our curatorial vision, we believe it has a place in our space.

We bring the pulse of Korea’s street and designer scenes to Toronto, but our perspective is international, not limited by borders. Korea may be our starting point, but our vision is global. We spotlight brands from Korea’s real street and designer scenes, sharing their unique cultural context and stories. At the same time, we continue to curate global labels that reflect our values and sensibilities, no matter where they come from.

Slow Turtle is not just a store. It’s a space where cultures converge, and fashion becomes a story shared by those who wear it. We curate with heart and invite you to be part of a community that celebrates connection, creativity, and individuality.

At Slow Turtle, we love brands with intention—and we believe that while origins may differ, sensibility transcends all.
