Deadly Ponies

 Established by Liam Bowden in 2005, Deadly Ponies has grown from a tiny, garage-based project to an internationally renowned leather accessories brand, with flagship boutiques in Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown.

A celebrated collaboration between Liam, and husband, Steven Boyd, Deadly Ponies first began with Liam making one-off leather pieces and jewellery in his garage, self-taught in pattern construction, sewing, and finishing. In 2009, Liam met Steve and the pair hit it off immediately. Nearly 15 years later, they are partners in life and in business, as co-founders of Deadly Ponies. 

Harbouring both a consistent drive for pushing conceptual boundaries, and the pursuit of full transparency in every stage of creation, Liam and Steve design pieces both unique and iconic, with sumptuous materials and artisanal quality craftsmanship ensuring longevity (and a long list of notable fans).
