Saluting our local designers

Our region is so full of amazingly creative and talented people, sometimes it could make your head explode. We’re very proud to make it our mission at Show Pony to be 50 percent local – which means that at any given day you walk into the shop, at least half the wonderful stuff you see is made with love by a local artist or designer.

Here are a few of the amazing folks from Seattle and Portland we’re currently featuring:

Retro Electro. Yowwwza, these little aprons will definitely make you the hottest thing in the kitchen. Made on Bainbridge Island by Sarah Mortensen with super saucy retro prints, vintage fabrics and pinup-worthy designs. Makes us really want to pick up a spatula!

YedOmi Jewelry. We’re in awe of the exquisite metalwork happening in this unique and heart-stopping jewelry line. Made by a darling Portland husband-and-wife team, you can truly feel the passion in their designs.

Revival Ink. Tara Smith’s silkscreen designs are all her own hand-drawn creations, which find their perfect homes on the sleeves, pockets, hoods or other surprising corners of her garments. We also love to support her because she works with Fair Trade, organic and recycled materials and makes eco-consciousness a central focus of her business (next to ridiculous cuteness, of course!).

Pirouette Essentials. These absolutely scrumptious soaps and perfumes, made in Seattle from natural essential oils and nutrient-rich botanicals, smell so savory and pure you want to just breath them all day. And the handmade paper wrap is so gorgeous, it’s like a present you *almost* don’t want to open.

Divine Designs. Our customers are loving the line of “Desire Rings” we’re carrying from this Seattle-turned-Portland gal. Non-tarnish wire of various metals swirling beautifully around semi-precious stones like Botswana Agate and Mother of Pearl – so fun and versatile!

Come take a look and help us show these hard-working artisans our local love!
