About Steel Pony

STEEL PONY HAS BEEN CREATING SUSTAINABLE ARTISAN PRODUCTS SINCE 1992. WE USE ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS AND SEW LOCALLY. OUR GARMENTS ARE HAND GARMENT DYED AND DETAILED IN OUR PHILADELPHIA STUDIO AND STOREFRONT. Joanne Litz and Dennis Wolk are the husband-and-wife couple behind Steel Pony. Joanne is the main Designer behind the clothing collection, while Dennis, executes Specialty dying processes and handbag design. Their roots have always been in fashion; Litz as a successful Design Director and Wolk as a display manager for storefronts that included Bloomingdale’s, Strawbridge’s, and more. After years of seeing first-hand how fashion products deteriorated the environment, the duo teamed up to launch Steel Pony in 1992, using only eco-friendly processes, fabrics, and dyes. In spring 2015, they opened their first store in the heart of the Fabric District in Philadelphia.Read their story
