Greetings to all our relations:

Richard (aka Atrayew) and Bhavani Polvino of Turtle Island Moccasins (aka Earth Island Footwear) welcome you to our family of over 2,300 satisfied custom shoe wearers.

Richard is a second generation of custom shoe, boot and moccasin makers and Bhavani is a 2nd generation beader, bag and purse maker. And we are now starting our 3rd generation of footwear specialists with our eldest of 3 sons starting to learn the craft at the age of nine. Luke is 16 now and actively making boots and sandals. Collectively, we are now over 12,500 pairs made.

We at Turtle Island look at the crafting of leather footwear as 'A Service to Pleasure your Feet'. We also stand in and bside our product everyday and through thick and thin, with up to a 15 yr warranty on the leather uppers - depending on the type of leather and the application of the footwear. Our footwear is very popular as historical footwear, medieval reenactors and for rennaisance fairs.

We are very picky about the quality control and pride ourselves in creating each pair. I do realize that his limits us to the number of shoes or boots that we can produce, about 120-150 pairs per year - depending on circumstances, which are never in our control. Our shoes are made to last with quality ingredients.

Turtle Island is a GREEN COMPANY - we live totally off the grid, making our own electricity, and have built our own straw bale home.

Love to all our relations
