Our tickets are booked and the date is set for our December 1st trunk show in Vilnius!! This beautiful city is the capital of Lithuania and one of the most up and coming cities in the world today and we couldn’t be more excited to debut Patty Tobin’s collection here in December.

City of Vilnius, Lithuania

The beautiful city of Vilnius, Lithuania

The city displays such an incredible variety of both architectural expression and willpower with an incredibly pleasant and cultured people. Vilnius is home to a deep and interesting history and “has preserved an impressive complex of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and classical buildings as well as its medieval layout and natural setting,” according to UNESCO’s World Heritage List (1994).

Patty Tobin will be bringing a collection of gemstone jewelry like this Whiskey Topaz Pendant Necklace for her Dec. 1st trunk show in Vilnius.

The city’s rapid growth has made it an epicenter for business in the Baltic Countries and is a destination any world traveler should strongly consider. In 2009, Vilnius was named the European Capital of Culture, and we can understand why. We are thrilled to be hosted by Lithuanian jewelry designer, Yurga Lago, at her boutique in Vilnius to showcase Patty’s collection for our first international showing. We will be bringing a collection of gorgeous semiprecious gemstone necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all handcrafted here in the states.

Support Women In The Military With A Shining Service Bracelet

Women in the military show off their Shining Service Bracelets
Women serving abroad proudly show off their Shining Service Bracelets.

We’re proud to announce the official launch of Shining Service Worldwide™, an organization dedicated to showing appreciation and support for women currently serving in the military, military vets and military spouses. We’ve been a proud participant of this initiative since the beginning and we couldn’t be more pleased with the growing recognition garnered for the 1.8 million women who have served in our armed forces.

When you take a moment to consider the fact that only 1% of Americans serve to protect the other 99% of us, it’s truly an extraordinary service that we couldn’t live without, and one that too often goes without sufficient thanks. In particular, the women serving this country too often fall through the cracks and do not get the attention they deserve, which is why Patty Tobin has partnered with Linda Franklin to develop this important cause whose sole purpose is to support these very women at home and abroad.

Designed by Patty Tobin, the Shining Service Bracelet™ is our way of bringing attention to our military women and also to help fund our mentoring services. Our black and clear crystal bracelets are a beautiful way to say thank you to our women in service and to show your support for veterans and military wives. A portion of proceeds go directly toward our mentoring program, which helps these women to acclimate back into civilian life after active tours.

Additionally, the Shining Service blog has been designed to encourage military women to use their voices and tell their stories. It is meant to be a resource for them to show that help and support is available to them from various sources. The third part of the program is the Shining Service Makeover Missions, which offer beauty makeovers at salons all over the country to these women as a way to reconnect with their feminine side. It also incorporates a three-month mentoring program for each woman, following her makeover, to help her continue to build her self-esteem once home from service. Each woman is provided with an executive mentor and a military mentor so all bases are covered.

More information is available on the Shining Service Worldwide™ website. Get involved today and show your support for these amazing women.

As of September 10th, Patty Tobin jewelry is now available in the Wynwood Art District in Miami! The grand opening of The Chill Conceptat the Hardcore Art Contemporary Space was a huge success and we couldn’t be more excited to have our collection residing in such an innovative space.

The concept for the gallery is so unique and belongs to a truly amazing woman by the name of Nina Fuentes. In her interview with Art Districts Magazine, she explains that her goal in designing The Chill Concept was to “create a visually and emotionally stimulating space where people of all ages could come and reconnect with themselves.”

“I think the time has come for people to integrate art into their daily lives,” she says. “Art should be interactive. It forms part of you as an individual and vice versa.” And that is precisely what is offered at The Chill Concept. It is a place where people can come and interact with one another and various forms of art. We’ve always considered Patty’s jewelry to be wearable pieces of art and it’s truly thrilling to be recognized for that particular quality by a woman like Nina.

With our new installation now up and running, we have no doubt it is a natural fit for this newly designed interactive art space. All of the jewelry on display is available for sale at the gallery, so if you’re in the area, stop by and check out the new collection!

Fashion’s Night Out Frenzy Begins Today!

August 15, 2011  |  News & Events

Let the fashion frenzy begin! Twitter has been ablaze all day with the official launch of Fashion’s Night Out 2011’s website. Everyone in New York is counting down the days to third annual FNO! Here’s a quick look at what we have planned for September 8th at Patty Tobin, 108 W. 17th Street, New York, NY 10011. Be sure to add us to your “My Night Out” itinerary on FNO.com!

“We’re Still Standing” Anniversary Celebration

Everyone said we were crazy to start a new business in the middle of a recession, but here we are two years later still standing strong! As the only NYC business to open on FNO in 2009, we’re proud to announce our two-year anniversary celebration!

We invite you to join us for a night of fun, friends and fashion as we sip champagne, model our newest jewels and dance the night away to live music performances by our favorite national karaoke finalists.

“Takin’ It To The Streets” Music Performances

Last year’s karaoke competition was such a hit we couldn’t resist doing it bigger and better this year. That’s why we’ve lined up even more local karaoke superstars from the NYC area to participate – and, don’t worry ladies, back again to MC this year is two-time national karaoke finalist and everyone’s favorite, Jerry Griffin. We were pulling people in off the street last year for a quick song or two – and we can’t wait to see what will happen this year! (If we’re lucky, Patty will take the mic Gaga-style again this year! Trust me, you don’t want to miss this.)

Meet the Designer

Fashion is never out of style and never out of reach at Patty Tobin’s self-named jewelry boutique in NYC. Guests are invited to come downtown and meet the imaginative jewelry designer and life-long entrepreneur who launched her Chelsea boutique on FNO two years ago. You’ll learn instantly why this little lady is known by her friends and family as a powerhouse with endless energy. A self-made woman who changed careers five years ago to pursue her passion for design in her 50’s has become a fixture in the neighborhood. All you need is five minutes with her and you’ll see why.

“Skin” Launch

Patty Tobin will be unveiling her new fall 2011 “Skin” collection. Not since our “Tiger” collection launched on FNO in 2009 have we been THIS excited about a new gemstone. If you’re feeling the new Stingray trend in jewelry, you will absolutely love this! We don’t want to give too much away, so you’ll have to come downtown and see for yourself.

Nibbles & Sips

Don’t worry folks, we wouldn’t leave you feeling hungry or parched on FNO! Refreshments and hors d’oeurves will be served during the party by our friends at Incognito — the fabulous new hot spot bistro in the Chelsea/Flat Iron district.
