Adding a Bespoke Touch: Leather Heat Foiling at the Perry Ellis Suiting Event

I’m so excited to share one of my favorite recent experiences—a special collaboration with Perry Ellis at their exclusive suiting event in New York. As guests stepped in to be custom-fitted for impeccably tailored suits, I had the wonderful opportunity to create personalized leather keepsakes right on the spot.

Using the traditional art of leather heat foiling, I customized elegant keychains, wallets, and Dopp kits with guests’ names and initials. They were able to choose from three beautiful script styles in either silver or gold foiling, adding a subtle yet stunning signature of individuality. Watching each piece come to life, reflecting the personal style of its owner, was truly a privilege.

Personalization like this offers more than just a beautiful accessory—it deepens the connection between brand and guest, transforming an event from a simple fitting into a memorable experience. At The Poppy Pen, I believe these thoughtful details are what set luxury events apart, allowing your clients to leave with something uniquely theirs.

If you’re considering a sophisticated, lasting way to elevate your next brand event, leather heat foiling is a personalized touch that speaks volumes. From custom initials to elegant monograms, I’m here to help you bring authenticity and elegance to life through bespoke artistry.

If you’re curious about pricing or want to explore options for personalization, don’t hesitate to get in touch—I’m happy to walk you through the details to find the perfect fit for your vision.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share with you the incredible experience I recently had at the Ferragamo flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. It was an honor to be part of a luxurious brand activation for Father’s Day!

During this extraordinary event, I had the pleasure of adding a touch of sophistication to Ferragamo’s stunning leather goods through heat foiling. From stylish shoes to elegant bags and sophisticated wallets, each piece received an exquisite and personalized embellishment. Additionally, I had the joy of creating custom calligraphy cards for guests, incorporating unique painted elements to ensure each card was a true work of art.

One of the highlights of the event was adding a glamorous touch by creating stunning red lips painted inside a classic red loafer. The attention to detail and artistry truly made this experience memorable and immersive.

This bespoke event was all about elevating the luxury brand activation, infusing it with personalized touches and creating an unforgettable experience for all guests.

I hope you all had a fabulous Mother’s Day weekend celebrating with your loved ones! Speaking of Mother’s Day, I had the absolute pleasure of spending two days at Tory Burch in Greenwich for a delightful Mother’s Day event. I love being able to share these special moments with you, as they truly make my work as a live event artist and brand activation specialist so fulfilling.

During this exciting event, I had the opportunity to hand engrave their stunning fragrances and even a watch. I also hand painted and lettered bags and wallets. It was a truly unique and personalized experience, one that I cherish every time I get to create these tailored pieces for such a prestigious brand.

But that’s not all; I also had the pleasure of calligraphing some custom Mother’s Day cards for the guests. There’s something truly magical about helping to create these heartfelt, bespoke pieces that become cherished memories for the lucky recipients.

The team at Tory Burch Greenwich was simply amazing, making the entire experience that much more enjoyable. Their warm welcome and kind-hearted nature truly added to the wonderful atmosphere of the event. I feel incredibly grateful to have been a part of such a special celebration.

As a New York and Connecticut calligrapher and engraver, I take great pride in bringing a touch of elegance and sophistication to every event I attend. It’s moments like these that remind me of the fulfillment I get from my work, and I am so grateful to be able to share them with you.
