Here you will find a diverse selection of belts and jewelry designed by surfer Donna von Hoesslin and a collective of artisans.

Her focus is on timeless style with nature, creating sustainable and affordable pieces to enjoy for many years to come.
In a world which encourages mindless following, soulless products and companies, Betty B.'s mantra is "Be authentic, buy authentic." Betty Belts and Betty B. accessories are designed to inspire and connect people with the beauty and peace of an ocean centric existence.
