The Betsy ā Railroad Denim
Some things donāt changeāthey just get carried forward. Denim has always been a working fabric, made to move and made to last. This year, we chose railroad stripe not for the pattern, but for what it represents: movement, progress, and women doing the work wherever they are. Because that story isnāt behind usāitās happening now, in the women building something of their own again and again. Built in denim. Built by women.

Inspiration Behind the Name:Ā
Named after Betsy Ross (1752ā1836) ā the American Patriot, Flag maker and a symbol of female ingenuity for centuries. The Betsy is yourĀ new year-round go to. Betsy Ross was an American Patriot, Flag maker and for centuries has stood as a symbol of female ingenuity.Ā Ā
At the age of 24Ā Betsy had her own upholstery business in the colonial city of Philadelphia. During the American Revolution she played aĀ key role by constructing uniforms, tents and flags for the Continental Army. She was approached by General Washington in 1776 toĀ create a new flag and she sealed the deal on her page in the American history books. Rumor has it that she persuaded Washington to goĀ with the five-pointed star instead of the six-pointed he originally asked for because it was easier to sew. How about that ā a woman afterĀ our own hearts, strong, practical, and a team player who knows her worth.Ā Ā Ā
How to Clean Denim Material:
When spot cleaning the denim, we suggest using a brush or sponge with water only to wipe it off soiled area. We do not recommend using anything other than water as it could discolor canvas material.Ā
