Tehachapi Treasure Trove to feature Alice Khteian and her denim apparel

For First Friday on Aug. 2, Tehachapi Treasure Trove will feature Alice Khteian of Lurifax Denim Designs. Alice creates unique vests, jackets, skirts, purses and more from recycled jeans. She has recently rented space at the Treasure Trove to display her fun creations.

Born in Denmark, Alice learned to sew as a child from her mother who helped her make most of her clothes as a teenager. She moved to the United States in 1976 and lived in several areas of Southern California before moving to Tehachapi in the 1980s. She has been working with recycled denim for a number of years. Starting with making Teepees, Alice then moved to women's clothing. She has successfully sold her denim line at a variety of craft shows and now at the Treasure Trove.

First Friday will be celebrated at Tehachapi Treasure Trove on Friday evening, Aug. 2, from 5 to 8 p.m. With our 50 plus vendors and artists, things are always changing at Tehachapi Treasure Trove, and First Friday is an excellent time to come on in and check out our uncommonly eclectic and unusually unique stuff, created by your friends and neighbors right here in Tehachapi. Join us to meet Alice and enjoy art, fun, food, wine, good conversation and music by the ever-popular Art Larson on clarinet.
