We get it—you can find t-shirts for $12 just about anywhere. But let’s be real: there’s a difference between a throwaway tee and one you reach for over and over again.
At Alley & Rae, we don’t compete on price. We compete on purpose.
Here’s why:
1. We Print Every Tee by Hand
That means real humans are making sure your tee comes out just right. Each design is screen printed or direct to garment printed by hand with eco-friendly ink in small batches—no mass production, no shortcuts.
2. We Only Use Premium Blanks
No stiff, scratchy tees here. We source soft, high-quality garments that fit like a dream and hold up after actual wear and wash cycles.
3. We’re a Small, Woman-Owned Business
Your purchase supports real people with real dreams—not a billion-dollar brand. Every shirt sold helps us keep jobs local, pay fair wages, and keep doing what we love.
4. We Give Back with Every Purchase
Alley & Rae was founded on more than just great design—we believe in using business as a force for good. A portion of proceeds from every order goes toward organizations that fight hunger, support women and children, and serve vulnerable communities across the U.S.
5. We Offer Wholesale, Too
Our retail prices help cover deep wholesale discounts, commission fees, and marketplace costs—which means we can stay in business and support hundreds of boutiques across the country.
6. We Design Shirts That Say Something
We’re not here to be basic. Our tees are made to spark smiles, start conversations, and say what you're really thinking.
So no, we’re not the cheapest. But we are the ones making tees worth wearing—and giving back while we do it.
