Our Story


A portrait of a smiling mother and daughter, the founders, sitting closely together on a dark stone sea wall ledge along a coastal promenade. The mother, with blonde hair tied back, is wearing a floral top, blue jeans, and a dark sweater draped over her shoulders. The daughter, with long wavy hair, is wearing a dark green cardigan and leans in close to her mother. In the background, a wide bay is visible under an overcast sky, flanked by a sandy beach with city buildings on the left and a lush green hill.

Érase una vez...

We are a Spanish mother-daughter duo business trying to transfer all our love to our handmade clothes for babies and toddlers.

Around two years ago, we decided it was a good idea to create something together, our own adventure.... And this is how La Tortuga Marisa was born. Wanting to be together even in the distance (My mom lives in Spain, and I live in Dubai). We always try to be as closer as possible to each other, so we thought this was the perfect excuse! Nothing is stronger than a mother daughter bond and we are trying to show our soul and love in these special outfits.

All ideas and designs are handmade proudly in Spain, using the best fabrics for our little ones, so they can feel like Queens and Kings while wearing our creations.

We design and sew all our outfits with sustainable fabrics, always looking for the best quality and the most stunning prints!

We wish you can feel our personal touch and chose handmade!
