Old Town This summer in Old Town looks a lot different!

We have tables where cars once parked & the bottom of King Street is closed to traffic!

The businesses in the OTBD are working hard to create an environment both safe & inviting. We have everything you need from a workout to a little blinging pick-me-up or a dress for date night on the streets of OT! Let’s embrace the changes Covid -19 has forced us to make.. and support our local businesses through the pandemic & the Virginia heat this summer!

EXPRESS YOURSELF Alley & Rae Tees We create shirts that inspire laughter and self expression.

We want to help people make a statement about who they are, how they feel or what they believe in. We also love to incorporate lots of humor into our designs... because we can all use more laughter in our lives!

All of our t-shirts have a relaxed boyfriend fit and are so comfy you don't want to take them off. We ethically source the softest garments we can get our hands on, and in turn we deliver exceptional quality garments that our customers can't seem to get enough of.

Each item is made to order and professionally screen printed by hand onto responsible (sweatshop-free) clothing.

Retail | $34 Made in USA in sweatshop free environment Ethically Sourced Relaxed boyfriend fit Unisex Sizing Women Owned
