Bring in your pre-loved, stained, logo besmirched or otherwise used t-shirts to Love, Me Boutique (1539 Birmingham Street, 444-3668) by Friday, March 5 and you can have a whole new creation, one-of-a-kind and reimagined by the hottest local designers. You’ll be asked to fork over $45 (cash only) and to fill out a questionnaire about sizing, likes and dislikes of the shirt. You shirt will then be given to one of the participating designers—Kim Munson of Orphanage Clothing, Veronica MacIsaac or Jennifer Young of Pip and Pipper—to be recreated. Return to Love, Me between April 20 and April 24 to see all the recreations displayed, then pick up your customized t-shirt after April 27. As Love, Me’s owner Chara Kingston explains, “This event is a great way to showcase local designers as well as garner interest in the sustainable clothing movement.”
