" Bargain prices without sweatshops? We know a few stores that could learn a thing or two from Betty.."
- Treehugger.com

"My absolute favorite surf style element is a belt made with seashells from the Betty Belts line. These belts look great with low-riding jeans, cut-offs, or a skirt; I love the way it adds just a touch of surf style to any outfit."
- Stef McDonald, Online Editor, Lucky Magazine

"I love my Betty Belt because it's the one article I own that I always receive compliments on."
- Natalie Meyer, 18, from California, wears Gaia

Betty Belts and Betty B. accessories are hand-made and marketed with environmental and social sustainability the highest priority. There are no sweat shops and no factories used, work is contracted out to independent, mostly woman-owned artisan workshops in Bali, Indonesia. Donna takes great effort to make sure everyone in the process of manufacturing is treated with respect. She wants to feel good about her product and where it comes from so you can feel good about wearing it.

Mahalo!
