A Ruby in the Rough
The Bite
Got a real gem hidden in that pile of old T-shirts? Before the moths have a field day, polish it up into something worth keeping: a Ruby and Dash kids' tee or onesie. No sappy bears-and-bows here: R&D collects unwanted adult college, concert, floral, whatever T-shirts, then hand-sews them into one-of-a-kind clothes for your little punk. Check out the custom-made online archives to see how that 1986 Kiss tour shirt you just can't throw away can be born again...on a newborn. You can even pick out a print to silkscreen on. Brilliant.
Wanna Try
Ruby and Dash, available online or at the Union Square Greenmarket, Wed., Fri., and Sat. 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Custom-recycled tee, $45.
