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. 

I am a mom of three and am passionate about people & the planet. TWIG was born out of the belief that if we change even one wasteful habit, we can make a difference. For me, it started by refusing to use plastic wrap.

"I am the founder behind KAVITA and I decided to start this brand not only because I was struggling to find colourful, chic, and comfortable dresses that work as versatile pieces in your wardrobe but also because I was tired of hurting our Mother Earth
by not shopping consciously."

Green Petition 100% Recycled Bath & Beach Towels. This is not only about us. This is about all of us, about our responsibility towards the planet. As to our part, we simply produce beach towels and peshtemals. This is what we do. For you to DRY RESPONSIBLY!

Today, I am proud to say that we are a Certified B Corporation, and we use only certified Fairtrade Cottons sourced from farmers in India.

JENNIFER SHUM ABELEV is the Los Angeles-based social entrepreneur behind NEEPA HUT. Her desire to make a positive impact was sparked by spending time with artisan communities in Southeast Asia. Seeing the women practice their respective crafts, she was struck by their ingenuity and perseverance, despite their humble surroundings.

Motherhood, for her, took on a new significance after spending time with these women. Consequently, she traded her career in finance for a new challenge, focused on preserving the heritage of Southeast Asia artisans through NEEPA HUT.

The crafts of our artisans shape the social fabric of their villages, and help them provide for their children and families. It is their sense of community and togetherness that Jennifer hopes to extend through NEEPA HUT’s products.

Our product aesthetic is designed to last the test of time.

We believe e-commerce can become sustainable community in the future in Canada and globally. Packgreen exists to support small business and artisans  to support their small business. We are here to make a change. 

Partners in Life, Colby and I first met online. We both quickly realized that each others values & morals lined up like a dream. 

​Fast Forward one year - we welcomed our first child, Oakley Rae in March 2019. The birth of our daughter sparked the creative flame in me (Brittani), so during maternity leave I started creating pieces for my line.  

Oakley Rae Handmade was officially launched March 2020. 

​We Welcomed our second Child Ryles William in March of 2021! A perfect, healthy baby boy to add to our growing family. 

​Today our days are filled with raising two charming children and growing ORH, while Colby works in Construction.

Zero waste is a set of principles focused on waste prevention that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are reused. The goal is for no trash to be sent to landfills, incinerators , or the ocean.

We are concerned that resorting to disposable items to fight the pandemic only reinforces its root causes. As such, we promote reusable solutions that work in the short- and in the long term.

We decided to stay in Lombak, Indonesia

SARA - PAULO - LIZA - TIAGO

We are all longtime friends, but this is the first time we went traveling together. We love Nature, Surfing, and eating Tempeh so being "stuck" in Lombok in Indonesia seemed like a really good deal for us. On the other side, we didn't know what consequences this pandemic could bring.

We decided to stay!
Everything changed very fast. Within one week, after we made our decision, almost all the tourists escaped back to their countries and there were no more people getting to Lombok. Although we were happily safe, we saw that instantly a lot of shops, restaurants, and small businesses were closing due to the lack of tourism.
A financial catastrophe for all the locals around us. Seeing all of this happening was heartbreaking and we started to wonder how we could help this lovely community.
One day, after surfing there was this local woman selling some handmade products on the beach: 

Beautiful Sarong towels, cute shell bracelets, and Rattan accessories. Every Piece was different. She told us that she didn’t sell anything during the whole day yet. “No Tourists, no business“ she said.

That was when we realized it!

We have to help them by selling their lovely products! This is our way to help.

It started with one cotton round...

Confronted with the amount of plastic my lifestyle was creating, I sought to create reusable products to swap out everyday single-use items.

With a few meters of fabric and no sewing skills, I FaceTimed my dad for help to transform them into facial rounds and bags.

This quickly budded into a (retired) father + (entrepreneurial) daughter project, which combined his 40+ years of textiles experience and my hope to leave the world a little bit better than how I found it.
