Time - Friday, May 6 · 5:00pm - 8:00pm
Location -  Fancy Tiger Clothing 18 South Broadway Denver, CO

Fancy Tiger Clothing will be hosting a trunk show of handmade children’s clothing from local line Benjamin Ballerina: Pretty Tough Clothing for Kids. This line focuses on quality handmade clothing for children helping consumers to move away from mass produced products that all look the same. This line is a collaborative effort between local creatives Dylan Scholinski and Maggie Evans, who met through their work at The Other Side... Arts. All of the clothing is produced by hand from reclaimed fabrics and is then screen-printed with original photographic imagery. Join us Friday May 6th from 5pm-8pm at Fancy Tiger Clothing and get a closer look at the work of Benjamin Ballerina. This is a family friendly event and there will be beverages and snacks available for all ages.

Denver Made is a monthly trunk show series held at Fancy Tiger Clothing every first Friday. Featuring the work of local artists, Denver Made allows designers to showcase their wares in a casual and fun environment complete with locally provided libations from Great Divide Brewery, and a stunning soundtrack.

Fancy Tiger Clothing is a locally owned boutique providing clothing, jewelry, and bags for the modern man and woman located at 18 South Broadway. For more information on this event please contact Becky Wareing at becky@fancytiger.com
