Alvanel Designz

Alvanel Designz Unique handmade jewelry made with fabric,leather, images,etc. Music has been a major part of my inspiration and motivation to create.

Alvanel Designz brings together my love of accessories and fashion with the love and appreciation of music and art, especially African art. Music has been a huge part of my life, it runs through my veins and it has so since I was a child, leading to the passion of collecting albums (vinyl).) Whenever I sit down to create a piece, music is being played, I can thank my parents for my love of music.

My father is a drummer and has been since before I was born, introducing me to a large range of music, such as Brazilian, soul, funk, the blues, rock, 80’s pop. My brothers introduce me to hip-hop and break dancing, I remember playing a mixed tape that my brother had made with Erik B and Rakim “Pump up the Volume” over and over. Is was then when my love for true hip hop started and once I moved to United States my choices of music were endless. My mother loved to dance, and that’s where I get it from, dancing takes me away into a world where only the beats and my body moving to it matter. In my images collection, I show my appreciation of music by using album covers that have influence me throughout my life. In addition I have included my favorite paintings and movies to the images line. As a child I recall having art from Africa that my father brought from Mozambique as well as the photos that he would take. I remember looking at the photos and admiring their clothing, how the fabric had so many beautiful designs and my clothing seem so boring with such simple solid colors. Since then I became a lover of African fabric print and it is seen through out my house. As I became older my appreciation for art grew bigger , so it became a huge influence in my creations. Going to school for Fashion Design only flourished my love for fabric even more, the texture, the prints, the colors, and soon I started making my own jewelry with fabric. Whatever will inspiring me next will surely be seen through my jewelry!!

I did a vending event yesterday and the new addition to Alvanel Designz (rings) was the big hit. Some people were buying more than one to give as gifts, which made me think of what a great gift it is. It's unisex, adjustable, inexpensive($12) and it can be custom made! I will take custom orders all week, inbox me whatever image you desire(musician,movie,painting,drawing, a saying,photograph,etc) in a ring and you may have just made things really easy for yourself in finding the perfect gift without breaking the bank, having to search, or leave the house. Did I mention on orders of two or more it can be delivered if in Philadelphia!!
