Natural Fiber Clothing For Everyday Wear 

Natural Fiber Athletic-wear 95% cotton
Downtown Betty is a natural fiber clothing and Beach Lifestyle Company created by Katie Quinn. The clothing line was started from scratch in 2005 in Vancouver, BC; the beautiful coastal city of beaches. 

Our ethical activewear roots are in the Pacific North West but they naturally trail throughout the world. Over the years, Downtown Betty has gathered like-minded concepts and products that consciously tread lightly on the planet, while enjoying the very best of our only home. 

Each piece of our eco clothing line is ideal to wear while enjoying bike rides, sunny days on the beach, practising yoga in your heart & soul, going on forest walks, eating healthy organic foods, surfing waves, skimming the tidal pools and jumping in puddles. These are just a few things we love in life that have influenced our brand.

Biodegradable Natural Fiber Fabrics

We pride ourselves on keeping our clothing as natural as we possibly can. Each garment is made with 95% cotton (organic where we can) and just enough Lycra (5%) to ensure comfort during yoga, exercise and long wear times. That’s why Downtown Betty is soooo comfortable to wear. 

Cotton is one of the easiest fabrics to decompose, making our garments are 95% biodegradable and able to compost under 6 months (in appropriate conditions).
