Small Business Saturday: Double your receipt coupons!

Happy Black Friday, everyone. If you ask us, it sounds like the best day of the year to curl up with Netflix and leftover stuffing for breakfast (and lunch and dinner) or finally go see the Picasso exhibit, if you’re feeling energetic. Not that we don’t love shopping, but... you know. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a good meal, but not necessarily your last. What we are excited about, however, is Small Business Saturday. This is a day to show your support of local businesses by doing your holiday shopping at small, independent, locally-owned stores where you can find gifts that are truly unique and made by the talented folks in your own community with L-O-V-E! We’re super impressed with how much this movement has picked up steam this year. The Small Business Saturday Facebook page is the fastest growing page on Facebook with more than a million fans in three weeks. Awesome!

At Show Pony this weekend, it’s the perfect time to come in and use your 10% off kickback coupons on your receipts from the month of October. If you mention Small Business Saturday, we’ll double your coupon to 20% through Sunday! It’s the meaty good part in the center of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sandwich that you can feel good about consuming!

Aubrey Summers Bags are back!

Aubrey Summers is a bit of a legend at Show Pony. Back in the early days, this architect-turned-designer brought us her line of handmade leather clutches and purses and they quickly became one of the most coveted things we carried. Picking one up and feeling its imperfectly perfect texture, admiring its hand-riveting and intoxicating color, it was love at first sight and you could never get it out of your head until you owned one. And then tragedy struck—Seattle lost Aubrey to Hawaii. Sure, with the way it’s looking outside, we can’t say we blame her. But we were all jealous and heartbroken nonetheless (what the hell do they need to carry in Hawaii, anyway??).

Well, we’re very happy to say Aloha again to Aubrey! She’s still in Hawaii, but recently paid us a visit while she was in town and the good news is that we are now able to sell her wonderful bags again. We’re the only store in Seattle (and heck, maybe even the upper 48!) lucky enough to have them. So if you never got a chance to own one, you’re in luck now as well.

Just in: Spiewak Jackets

When it’s cold and yucky out, nothing beats one of those uber-insulating poofy down jackets. So what if you look like a jumbo marshmallow and walk like the Michelin Man, right? Wrong, ladies! We just got some wonderful new winter coats in from Spiewak, and one of our favorites is the most flattering and shapely poofy down number we’ve ever seen. It looks great on everyone, and you’re gonna love the hood!

Spiewak has been around pretty much since the dawn of time, but if you’ve never heard of them, don’t be surprised. Since the company was founded in 1904 by a Polish immigrant, it has mostly been making industrial and military wear—and I mean real military wear (not the derivative designer stuff), as in, guys were going into battle in WWI and WWII in these clothes. The company began in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and that’s where they still are today. It only took 100 years, but the rest of the neighborhood finally caught up to Spiewak’s coolness! Their line of street wear has the same enduring quality with a decidedly urban edge, and no, they don’t hold back on the military influence. Phew!

We’ll have a few on hand with us at the Robert Leonard Salon’s Holiday Shopping event this Saturday (along with lots of other goodies), so it’s a great opportunity to try one on at 15 percent off.

Hope to see you there!
