Too Cool for Drool

Rok Baby Bibs

Your baby came into the world with a Mohawk and a rebel yell. And you’ve had to feel the noise, day and night, ever since.

Amp up his style with Rok Baby Bibs. Local mom Adriana Piedra collects vintage rock ’n’ roll T-shirts (Weezer, Metallica, AC/DC, Rush, Bob Marley) and reconstructs them into bibs. Each is backed with all-cotton terry cloth, so they’re soft and machine washable (like your favorite guess-what).

Piedra also does custom orders, giving new life to those threads from your first Lollapalooza.

Rok on.

Available at The Children’s Exchange, 1415 Sunset Drive, Coral Gables (305-666-6235 or thechildrenexchange.com). To see select styles, go to alistbibs.com.
