Downtown Betty

About me:

introducing bicycle by downtown betty... bicycle is clothing for active outdoor west-coasters with their finger on the pulse of real life fashion. This soft cotton & or bamboo/lycra line is a hybrid between street wear & yoga wear...mixing well with both or brilliant on their own, taking the wearer from the yoga studio, to the dinner party, to sunset on the beach. bicycle...for people on the go

Made here in Vancouver, there is a distinct west coast vibe to the bags. Dedicated to beach culture, Downtown Betty started with Skimboard Bags and has now evolved into Guitar Packs, Diaper Bags, Yoga Bags & Beach Wallets. This year is the first series of Downtown Betty’s Home Grown Fabrics(*). The images are photographed, collected & drawn, then exclusively silk screened onto water & abrasion resistant nylon.

SKIMBOARD BAGS $150...SEXY LINGERIE FOR YOUR WOOD ~ a side zip, padded backpack style w/ adjustable backpack straps & alternative carrying handles to carry by hand &/or shoulders fit through. It's perfect for biking, walking, especially w/ more than one board (fits @ least 2 111cm woodies) and for keeping the sand & wax from getting all over your car & your home. There's an inside zip stash pocket for your wax, keys & cash money.

GUITAR PACKS $100...PROTECT YOUR WOOD ~ super excited about these...dopest one I've seen, much like the Skimboard Bags, so I guess it's not shocking. They are padded with a side zipper meant to be slung over the shoulder with an adjustable strap for different body sizes. An inside zip stash pocket to keep your picks & keys & uh other stuff too!

DIAPER BAGS $120...THESE ARE NO FRILLY-LILLY PASTEL BAGS ~ aww so cute...no, they're not. These bags are for people who still have their dignity & style intact. Side mesh pockets, one for baby's bottle, one for mama's or papa's, an inside zip pocket so you can be sure your wallet & keys are safe, 2 slip pockets for non-baby related items you want to keep dry...fabric is all water resistant, phew. Bag comes with matching change pad.

YOGA BAGS $65...GO WITH THE FLOW - this is a no fuss sort of bag. The essentials only, no frivolity...this is yoga people. Room for a mat with a towel wrapped around it. Mesh velcro pocket for sweaty gear & a zip pocket for phone & keys. This is the same fabulous water & abrasion resistant fabric as the rest of Downtown Betty with full side zip, an adjustable over the shoulder strap & a mesh bottom for air drying your mat.

BEACH WALLETS $20...WASTE NOT, WANT NOT ~ the same wicked fabric (in fact it's the corners of your Skimboard Bags & the curves of your Guitar Packs) but pocket size. Keep your cards, cash & coins in an easy open zip wallet. Each zipper is embellished with a stylized zipper pull that will bring out the colour in your fabric's eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DOWNTOWN BETTY"S FABRICS:
