Vintage Betty Boop

This vintage Betty Boop patterned shirt celebrates one of animation’s most iconic and enduring characters. Betty Boop, created by Max Fleischer and first appearing in 1930, rose to fame during the Golden Age of American animation. Initially conceived as a humanized poodle, she quickly evolved into a sassy, flapper-inspired woman who embodied the liberated spirit of the Jazz Age. Despite facing censorship challenges during the enforcement of the Hays Code in the mid-1930s, which toned down her risqué image, Betty Boop has remained a pop culture phenomenon, continuously celebrated for her distinct style, independent attitude, and timeless appeal, making merchandise like this shirt highly collectible and a nod to a classic era of animation and fashion.
