Bettie Press Release!

HEAVENS TO BETTIE!
South Florida’s newest handmade boutique opens its doors Sept. 2


DANIA BEACH, FL – Starting in September, South Floridians will no longer have to trek to South Beach to find stylish clothing and accessories. That’s because Bettie, a fresh new boutique stocked with goods from up-and-coming designers, opens its doors in Dania on September 2.

The brainchild of longtime designers and members of the Miami Craft Mafia, Bettie is bringing the unique designs of local crafters, as well as the best handmade items from designers across the country, to the Broward County shores. Browsing the store, you’ll find local goods like jewelry and journals by Dragonfly Crafts, spectacular and stylish totes by Mamadelic, and psychedelic clothing for kids of all ages by Ragamufyn. Soaps and edible body products are on tap, courtesy of Lushbox and Daisycakes Soap. And out of towners like Moxie Madness, Reckon, Tinymeat and Divinity Designs are getting in on the action too, with silkscreened tees, hipster patches, snazzy plastic wallets and more.

There’s no question these goods are hot, but that’s not the only reason to shop Bettie. Bettie’s a haven for handmade goods, so every purchase supports a crafter or artist. Plus, Bettie’s as unique as you are – everything in the store is a unique piece of art, so you’ll never have to worry about wearing the same thing as everybody else.

Intrigued? Stop by Bettie’s grand opening celebration on Sept. 2 and check it out for yourself, or visit www.shopbettie.com.
