Fish Leather, Bingo and Designer Bags

A couple of events are coming up that might grab your interest,if you are looking for some accessories to rock that summer look. Here it goes!


Pamela Levin, jewelry designer at Nivell Jewelry will debut her new jewelry collection created in leather, sterling silver, and semi-precious stones at Blue Streak Gallery in Wilmington, Del. The opening reception is on Friday, June 7 from 5 pm – 8pm, during Wilmington’s Art Loop and runs through July 13. Levin has jewelry collections in sterling silver with semi-precious stones and is now including leather in her work.

“Leather is included in many types of clothing; it is not just in New York Fashion Week designer collections. Jewelry complements what we wear so it is a natural extension of my work to produce with leather, “ said Levin

 Her full vision in one piece of jewelry is the combination of sterling silver, semi-precious stones, and multiple colors of leather that are machine sewn together.

In her Blue Streak Exhibition you can expect to find cuffs, neckpieces, and earrings made with kidskin, buffalo, cow, lamb, exotic skins (post manufactured alligator and lizard) and fish leather.

Fish leather used in clothing, handbags and shoes are a new trend and Prada, Gucci, and Manolo Blahnik have items manufactured with this already. According to Levin fish leather is a very eco-friendly product. Instead of throwing the skins away after the fish are skinned for fileting, they are captured and processed in a tannery to make fish leather. Fish leather is very strong compared to the same weight in bovine leather because of the skin fiber patterns. Something to check out for sure.

If fish leather jewelry isn’t your thing than maybe Bingo is. It’s Designer Bar Bingo happening at Temple Lutheran Church in Havertown. Come play bingo and you might just win one of the stylish bags from Kate Spade, Coach, and Michael Kors awarded per round.
Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. This is a BYOB event and you must be 21 to attend. All proceeds benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
