Betsey Boutique is a new-to-Charlottesville women’s clothing shop on Market Street near the Downtown Mall. I first heard of it while using Mata Traders’ find-a-retailer search tool and was so excited to see that Mata Traders had finally come to Charlottesville. I intended to stop in several weeks ago, but it was closed before I could get there.
By a twist of fate, however, Betsey Boutique had been asked to participate in the Sew What fashion show I was set to model in, so I met owner, Lisa, during fittings for that event a couple weekends ago and got to wear a few Betsey items on the runway! In our conversations during show prep, she told me she recently relocated from a small Virginia town and loved to find unique items at reasonable price points, the latter being something sorely lacking among Charlottesville boutiques. She also features local designers when possible.
Lisa wasn’t there when I took the tour, but a friendly shop attendant welcomed me. Thanks, friendly shop attendant!
Haha, thanks.
What a great store so close to you, and you look fierce!
