"Your Family-Weekend-Beach-Picnic-Holiday-Bag"
Some bags are good for one thing. The Betty is good for everything. It's the bag that goes to the beach with the whole family, comes home full of wet towels and sandy snacks, and still looks like itself. The one that fits in the overhead bin on the way out and gets checked in on the way back because you bought too much. The one that, once you have it, you can't imagine not having.
Made in our Cape Town studio from durable 100% cotton canvas with soft leather handles, the Betty is as practical as it is beautiful. The generous open-top design means you can pack it fast and find things easily — no wrestling with zips when you're wrangling kids, beach bags or a weekend's worth of life. An inside pocket keeps the things you actually need close, and the long rope sling means you can carry it hands-free when the day demands it.
At 84cm wide, it holds more than you think it will. Customers have described it as the Mary Poppins bag — there always seems to be room for one more thing. It folds down flat when it's empty, making it perfect to pack inside another bag for the trip home when you've inevitably bought too much.
Available in Black, Off White, Olive, Beige, Pink and Grey — each one paired with your choice of Mzuzu rope sling.

This is very similar to Mary Poppins bag. I can literally fit my 6 year old daughter into it along with an extra outfit. Betty has joined us on camping trips, seaside jaunts and many a family picnic. Shes durable, made from well wearing fabric and has not aged a day in the years we have had her. This gal os an essential for anyone going anywhere!
Honestly an absolute must have bag…my hubby and I have 3 between us. So spacious, sturdy, practical and gorgeous, we can’t imagine using another bag for all our trips and adventures. I love Bomba Bags for their consistent quality and functionality and will forever be a massive fan!
Thank goodness for the Betty! My go to. Have ordered many as gifts for friends and family as I cannot live without mine!
The OG! My very first Bomba bag, which has been all over with me since. Weekends away, beach expeditions, it’s just perfect.
I have two Bettys — one in Olive and one in Pink — and honestly, they still surprise me! I’ve had my olive Betty since the kids were little and we’ve taken it on countless beach trips, picnics, and weekends away. We even call it our Mary Poppins bag because somehow everything fits in there! My pink Betty came along about two years ago and now carries all my heavy sport gear. Even with all that use, it still looks brand new. Absolutely love how tough and versatile it is.
This is such an amazing bag and so much bigger than I expected it to be. Love love love
I already own one that I love. I bought a second one as a gift to my sister. So pretty and useful!
LOVE this bag and cannot recommend it enough. It is spacious and the quality is superb. I ordered a certain color sling and accidentally got the wrong one. I messaged them and their response was super-fast, friendly, and professional. What a lovely brand!
This is the bag I'm ALWAYS packing. So durable, strong and big enough for all the kids' things. Love the look - the leather handles are soft, strong and comfortable to carry over your shoulder!
Most used & most loved present I've ever received. Use it every weekend of my life :)
It's perfect for a weekend away, and the best beach bag too - fits towels for the whole family and more. Very comfortable to carry and love the soft shape. Excellent quality. Thanks Bomba XX
My Betty bag comes everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE with me. I love this bag, so versatile and the perfect weekender. It folds up small so is perfect to travel with as an extra baggie for overflow on the trip home. Quality and craftsmanship is superb.
This is the bag that you never knew you needed and now you can’t live without! I have two and use them for beach outings, weekends away, braai visits, picnics - whatever the occasion. Perfect for kids stuff, and adults too.
I’ve got this big, bold bag made from canvas and leather, and it’s so beautiful! It fits everything—my stuff, my family’s stuff, and then extras. Perfect for beach days, picnics, or just hauling extra bits, this bag handles it all. I’ve never had such a spacious bag that it’s still easy to carry, easy to clean, and a joy to use!
Think big, versatile and stylish! This bag is my lifesaver every time I’m going away! It takes away the hassle of having to pack light and it just fits everything you need! I can’t recommend this product enough, you will never regret getting a Betty.
The one and only BETTY bag! I have bought one for my sisters and mother as well and we all have it as our favourite bag. Whatever we do, beach, picnic, weekend away, the Betty bag always comes with us! And the quality is amazing, 5 years on it still looks as great and solid as the first day!
