About this episode
On today's show, we're chatting with Phoenix, the designer and founder behind Pony Manufacturing Co., which is a small batch fashion brand utilizing deadstock and antique textiles. Phoenix has a deep love of vintage and antique textiles, starting with vintage graphic t-shirts, and developing into a love of vintage workwear and sweatsuits which inspired her first upcycled collection at Pony. I loved learning from Phoenix about the process of repurposed vintage textiles from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, everything from sleeping bag to quilts, there's a beauty found it all!
