Step Inside Show Pony

28 Jun

Show Pony has been a fashion fixture in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood for the last four years, carrying affordably priced handmade, one-of-a-kind, organic, and sustainable clothing, jewelry, accessories, and gifts from local and independent designers. Exposing shoppers to some lesser known labels and smaller designers’ work to a farther reaching audience. And, now that reach has grabbed Los Angeles and West 3rd Street.

When it came time to launch a second location, owner Stephanie Hara was sure Los Angeles was the spot and West 3rd Street the neighborhood for Show Pony’s LA retail residence. Fitting in perfectly to West 3rd Street’s distinctly unique retail scene, while bringing something a little different to the street.

The Los Angeles store carries many of the local and lesser known Northwest designers that owner Stephanie and her customers fell in love with in the flagship store, and a number of independent lesser known Los Angeles and California designers as well.  Looking for something for yourself or for someone else? The store is loaded with accessories and gifts you’ve never seen before and clothing you wont see on anyone else. Hoped for a different color, size, or something even more unique? Many of the designers Show Pony works with do special custom order pieces. The recession getting your wallet down? Show Pony proves you don’t have to shop boring on a budget.

The Show Pony team puts a lot of love in to finding the lines and designers they carry and want to help you leave the store with something or some things you love. So stop by to shop, chat, and welcome Show Pony and its adorable resident bulldog Pushkin to the sunshine and neighborhood.

In honor of their recent arrival, Show Pony wants to treat West 3rd Street Facebook fans to a special discount of 20% off ALL jewelry (valid through June 30th.) Just show you are Facebook friends with us at the register to redeem. And, don’t forget to like Show Pony Los Angeles on Facebook.
