About Downtown Betty
Natural Fiber Clothing For Everyday Wear
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).
Fashion Minimalism Meets Casual Glamour
Downtown Betty's collective brands include:
Bicycle by Downtown Betty 95 less plastic than most other brands, a natural fiber clothing line, designed with real life in mind. Fashion minimalism meets casual glamour that truly feels as good as naked, taking you from the yoga studio to a dinner party, to sunset on the beach.

DOGGESS was created to educate on how to care for the Street Dog Population. Founded in 2017 by Downtown Betty on an extended trip to Bali, DOGGESS PRODUCTS have been created to help drive funds towards our rescue efforts and other Active Dog Rescue Communities around the world.
Zero Waste Life & Home sustainability is at the core of everything we do; starting with our most natural fiber fabrics—which are 95% biodegradable. We hand-cut every item, leaving very little waste for the landfill, and are always on the lookout to add more Zero-Waste Life & Home products from like-minded brands!

Ethical Fashion At Its Finest
We choose natural fibers for our products that are a blend of Organic Cotton/Lycra, Cotton/Lycra, or Bamboo/Cotton/Lycra.
The products are designed, hand-cut to order and made with love in Vancouver, BC by a local collective community! Our clothes and accessories are in people’s closets or on their bodies—not in a huge warehouse.
Downtown Betty’s natural fiber clothing is for active, outdoor people, with their finger on the pulse of real-life fashion. The perfect eco yoga wear!
As Downtown Betty is ever-evolving, research and development led us to India, Bali and back to Vancouver, Canada; expanding our story, while living the casual glamour life—dialled and styled.

Live brightly and tread lightly,
Downtown Betty
