The Linkey Tortue moves at its own pace. This leather key ring depicts a little tortoise with a raised shell, a symbol of longevity and serenity. It is born from the leather offcuts of our gloves, cut and assembled by hand, piece by piece, with a glovemaker's care. It slips onto a set of keys, a bag or a phone case, like a quiet lucky charm. Designed by Maison Agnelle, French glovemaker since 1937.
I love giving it as a lucky charm, for a departure, an exam, a new chapter. On an everyday bag, its rounded silhouette adds a calming note. On a phone case, it gently accompanies each day.
The Agnelle ateliers were founded in 1937 in Saint-Junien, France’s “City of the Leather Glove”. The same craftsmanship continues to this day there, inscribing and galvanizing the Agnelle name in its time. For three generations, three visionary and determined women have transmitted the same savoir-faire for the production of the world’s most beautiful glove collections.
Agnelle remains to this day a discreet partner to the greatest fashion labels. In 2006, Agnelle was recognized as a “Living Heritage Enterprise" and since 2011, Agnelle is registered in UNESCO’s “Métiers d’Arts Rares.”

Today, Agnelle, a family business, continues to advocate delicate, infinitely precise work, the slow pace of which is a sign of unfailing quality.
