A FITTING PLACE WILL HOST AN OPENING
LAUNCH PARTY WITH BENJAMIN BALLERINA
SATURDAY, MARCH 5th, FROM 3:00 UNTIL 6:00, P.M. 
1501 LEE HILL ROAD #10, BOULDER, CO.

ALL  CLOTHING  40%  OFF,  ONE  DAY  ONLY


STORY IN BRIEF: The vision of Benjamin Ballerina has been brewing for many years... Recently graduated with a Master’s in Art Therapy, Maggie Evans went back to her first love as a designer and seamstress of bridal gowns. Since also recently becoming a mother herself, she found much inspiration for a children’s clothing line. After partnering with Dylan Scholinski, a professional artist and founder of Sent(a)Mental Studios, which offers a safe space to a variety of youth to help facilitate a reclaiming of creative voice and exploring difficult emotions and experiences through creativity, the vision has finally taken form. Together, with their extensive creative backgrounds and a desire to create products that are environmentally and socially responsible, they use only reclaimed materials and original imagery to create unique, one-of-a-kind, handmade clothing for kids. Until now, Benjamin Ballerina clothing has been sold exclusively through the online Etsy shop. At the new storefront, you will be able to touch and feel each piece of unique clothing and, for one day only, take it home with you for  40% off.

ABOUT THE CLOTHING: Each piece of clothing is made from carefully chosen reclaimed fabrics, which are then screen printed with original imagery such as a flattened aluminum can or coffee cup lid. Each piece of clothing tells a story - a blanket becomes an apron dress and a well-loved sweater becomes a warm winter vest. The fabrics are then paired together, along with recycled buttons and trims, to create hip and colorful clothing in children’s sizes up to 10 years.
