Last night, we hosted our annual client, supplier and talent event with the team from
@deadlyponies Founders Liam and Steven gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what they’ve been working on and introduced us to the incredible Mr Hoiho. Inspired by one of the world’s rarest penguin species, each bag is crafted from past-season leather offcuts. I was lucky enough to secure one of the limited-edition 100 pieces, which sold out within a day or two of launch.
Even better, Deadly Ponies raised an incredible $20,000 for Forest & Bird New Zealand.
Liam and Steve also generously donated a $500 Deadly Ponies voucher, won by
@samhorsnell from
@nzicc Sam went home with two Deadly Ponies pieces last year, and added another to her collection last night!
A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a lovely evening of conversation, connection - and plenty of fabulous shopping.
