Where: Blackbird Ballard

What: First, there’s this: Tarot card readings. (I do like a fashion event that comes complete with my future.) And cocktails. And, a collection of leather goods and jewelry by Seattle designer Billy Bartels from his line Vim Beget.

Bartels works with hand-coiled, hand-wired metals from Germany, Japan, and other locales to create abstract, unisex prime real estate necklaces, double-wrap bracelets, uncommon rings, and wallets that seem to reference medieval chain mail armor and postmodern goth while also registering as fairly low-key and totally wearable.

Men have never had a clear path when it comes to accessorizing outside the tie-watch-pocket-square realm, but lines like Vim Beget shine a moody light on some of the best routes (handmade, dark, relatively simple, tough but not falsely so). In fact, forget what I said about “unisex;” women have endless options.

This one is for the guy’s.

When: Thursday, March 24 from 7 to 10
