Tortoise General Store in Los Angeles

They have all kinds of cozy stuff and I get zen feeling here too. Online shopping experience with them is great too but Id always prefer to visit the store physically every few months to keep me updated. Keep in mind that they are closed on Mondays.

Every time we are in a LA we visit the shop. It moved to a new location, feels a bit different now but still a very nice selection of Japanese households goods.

This store and gallery sparks joy! I want to buy everything, which is so hard for a minimalist like me. Oh, how I love visiting this store and buying a little something to add to my collection. Also, wonderful place to buy a gift...hint.

I Love, Love, Love ❤️ this store and I miss it so much since I’m back in Germany!If you are located in LA or are visiting LA, this store is a must!!!Staff are extremely friendly and all the stuff there are so beautiful and unique ❤️

My husband and I always wondered what Tortoise General Store was, so we felt the need to pop in over the weekend. What IS this place? A 7-Eleven type store, a liquor shop, a small grocery store?Never mind the kimono I was wearing, I had no idea how appropriate it would be....Upon entering, a curation of Japanese goods welcomed us as we perused the shelves. Clothes, pottery, watches, shoes, lights, décor and more at this trendy yet cultured store. The lady behind the counter was friendly and said itd be no problem to take some photos, wahoo!With LAs incredibly diverse population, its normal to walk into a store and feel like youve been transported to that country. Thats what happens in Tortoise, youre transported to Japan. The store feels like a museum as well, with pottery and items on display that are so pretty you dont know if you can buy them or not, (but guess what, you CAN)!If you dig culture, minimalist style, items for your home and love to shop locally then you must stop in Tortoise!

The most beautiful things at this store that used to be on Abbot Kinney… worth going to and a lot closer than Japan

Despite not selling any tortoises here, this place has some beautiful artisanal crafts that make for great gifts.

Tortoise is easily my favorite shop in Los Angeles. Everything feels curated.

Since opening, Ive been a fan of this store. Taste is impeccable, no matter the object. Im no longer in the neighborhood but when I discovered them online, life has absolutely improved!

So good, so imported. Totally Japanese shop with the most amazing goods. They have a new location on Venice Blvd. but all the same great selection. I love the tonbari towels and artisanal workshops available through their newsletter.Today we had tickets to a wood carving class lasting three hours, after which we got to keep our work. It was really special and unlike any other shop activity in town. I highly recommend this place!!
