The world of Deadly Ponies springs fully formed from the collective brain of designers Liam Bowden and Katie Smith. The duo met whilst completing a design degree, and bonded over a shared passion for tactile design and sculptural arts and crafts.
The name Deadly Ponies is now synonymous with blurring of high fashion and high function. Their innovative designs have built the designers a worldwide reputation for quirky, high quality bags, wallets and jewellery.
Lending a one-of-a-kind artisan aesthetic, their ranges cater for both the conservative and eccentric, featuring quality hand finishing and multi-layered designs. Every product is uniquely created, from the selection of the leather to the stitching; Deadly Ponies has caved out a niche.
With a product that is both practical and prized, even the most committed bag-a-phobics are prompted to venture out and carry something from Deadly Ponies.
Their latest collection ‘Sticks and Stones’ was presented in an installation at New Zealand Fashion Week 2007 with rave reviews – and proved once again the pairs creativity and their ability to push the boundaries of traditional design. With an expansion into the US market in 2008 as well as a new project in the works, we can expect to see a lot more from Deadly Ponies.
