In time for the spring, the Lazy Oaf Betty Boop collection was dropped, which is heavy on bright seasonal colorways, fun patterns, and artful graphics that enable fans of the 1930s cartoon character to show their appreciation.
Included in the collection are matching pants and jackets with heart-shaped pockets, transparent kimono-style cardigans, long-sleeve tees with bold bow embellishments, form-fitting button-up blouses, tanks with silver heart hardware, oversized dresses, embroidered jeans, tote bags, and pins.
All of the pieces that comprise the Lazy Oaf Betty Boop collection reference the cartoon character directly, with large embroidery designs and graphics showing her portrait, or motifs related to themes connected with her portrayed in a statement fashion. The whole collection is currently available from the Lazy Oaf web store.
