THE COLOR STARTS BY HAND.Old school technique. Rob’s own process.
ROB RUINS SHIRTS.
IN THE BEST WAY.
Ruined By Rob is a hand-tied tie-dye clothing brand based in Blacksburg, South Carolina. Rob creates one-of-one and custom tie-dye shirts by hand.
Rob wraps waxed string around the fabric three times and pulls it tight. The wax helps the wraps hold while he creates the design. Then comes the color and the moment it all opens up.

MY FAVORITE DYE.
I love Rob’s shirts, and this green alien dye he made for me is my favorite. The color is loud, the design is weird in the best way, and it feels like my kind of shirt. I love knowing Rob made it by hand, with his own style all over it. If you’re looking for custom hand-dyed shirts with some personality, check out Ruined By Rob in Blacksburg, South Carolina. This is wearable art I’m happy to put on.

GOOD PEOPLE.
LOUD COLOR.
BEAUTIFUL RUIN.
Kandi on your wrists. A questionable totem. The bass you can still feel back at camp.
This is the world behind the color: neon in the ruins, fire spinning after dark, ground score stories, and a little wook nonsense with your favorite people. Rob brings that energy to the dye table.
