QUADROCEPTICON summer 3009
We're hungry. Metaphysically and physically. We perceived a deficit in savory satisfying summer staples. Take tina turner, turned topside. Unzipped uncut unfiltered genuine draft. On the real, no bullshit. We've curated a line we believe is our finest collection, ever: QUADRACEPTICON summer 3009.
Just for reading this blog, we offer you 20% off anything bought off RHLS.COM (you need to use this link: rhls.bigcartel.com). (We'll refund you 20% through paypal upon your purchase).
Today we are introducing the first first five new members of the Ruffeo hearts Lil snotty family.
Ill Debbie
A jumper for jumping idiots.
Mitchelada 3009
W.W.I.A.D-What would Isaac Asimov Do?
TECHNICOLOR TECHNIQUE romper
Wear one thing all spring and summer! You never need to change. It's a dress, it's shorts, it's a television test pattern.
Span Decks Fleshbag
Just dream nobody knows spandex like Ruffeo. Nobody does spandex like Ruffeo. We won't be undersold (Actually, intricate inlay doesn't get any cheaper than this. Go ahead, undersell us).
Watersport Tank
The finest tank top in the word. Now made from salvaged mesh.

Introducing TECHNICOLOR TECHNIQUE
Yo sweaty betties strip down get ready. It is summer time, Or at least in our minds it is.
RHLS has been grindin' hard behind the scenes coming out with a fresh fresh new line of dresses. Process meets function once again using dead stock cotton and jersey, breathable polyester and super wide elastic from the Brooklyn belt factory (RIP).
We deliver some filthy dirty shit to make our mouth hurt. technicolor rainbows gang flow, stay quiet stay low.
thank you very much we hope you enjoy this juicy popsicle as much as we enjoyed making it. Keep your eye peeled for the technicolor romper along with the young coconut dress: a bell shaped pocket innovation.

"Hearts" is the name of our apprentice program.
RHLS teaches: we are growing this handmade movement with the help of dedicated ethically minded Brooklynites.
RHLS HEARTS Mission Statement
****
We are looking for people interested in gaining experience making clothes and learning how to build a business. We are called Ruffeo Hearts Lil' Snotty. We make everything we sell by hand in our beautiful workshop in Red Hook, Brooklyn. This would be beneficial to any person who would like to learn the entire process of creating a product, solving problems creatively, and thinking in a local based economy, creating a sustainable business.
The working environment here is very communal, the space is absolutely gorgeous, right on the water with a view of the statue of liberty! You would get experience/get trained in pattern making, cutting patterns with a industrial rotary knife, learn about systematic production, custom fitting, tailoring, upcycling deadstock fabric/clothing, sourcing materials from manufacturer waste, building silk screens, coating silkscreens, exposing silk screens, preparing transparencies for screens and the technique of silk screening. You will be using a 4 screen silk screen press, and a flash cure unit, leaning how to register different layers of prints.
There is the opportunity to learn how to sew if you are willing to work with us for the longer term, we would love to have you as long as you like, but this apprenticeship is for a minimum of 1 days a week for a month up to four days a week for 3 months. Everything is negotiable. If both RHLS and you would like to stay longer or shorter we will work it out.
As far as our background goes, we are entering our 3rd year. We sell all around the USA and Europe, Asia. We sell at Patria Field in New York (costume designer for Sex In The City, Ugly Betty) and were recently on CBS Sunday Morning News/ Martha Stewart teaching Mo Rocca how to sew a sweatshirt. We were a featured seller on Etsy.com. We were winners of Fred Flare's "Next Big Thing" contest. And we maintain a guest segment on Threadbanger.com, doing tutorials and Upcycling Recon Tours.
