On Friday, October 14th from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., UnderWired Vintage Boutique, Sew On & So Forth, and Lux the Eco-Friendly Salon will host a roaring 20s style party inspired by the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. The party, which has been named "Broad Street Empire," will take place at Sew On & So Forth at 91 E. Broad Street in Bethlehem and will include retro cocktails, desserts, games, prizes, and discounts on featured apparel.
Sew On and So Forth and UnderWired have been sharing space at 91 E. Broad and cooperating with each other in order to bring something special to their individual businesses. Deborah Berkner, owner of Sew On & So Forth, is a costume and clothing designer in her own right, and she offers tailoring and some custom work at her shop. Lisa O'Brien has added UnderWired's vintage wares to the shop, and together, they are working on contributing some interesting and fun events to their side of town. Both women share a passion for design, clothing, and a commitment to responsible consumption through the reuse of materials.
