We acknowledge with gratitude that we are located on unceded traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six territory and shared by many nations including Blackfoot, Metis, Nakota Sioux, Dene, Ojibway, Inuit and many others whose history, languages and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community.
In accordance with our principles, we support the autonomy of all Indigenous peoples and we resolve to move forward with an open heart in the sincere spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
May we be good neighbors to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
We are an independently owned local business. Like you, we love fashion and that thrill of finding a truly unique piece, or scoring a great deal. We especially love local designers and independent brands; you know, the ones that make everything one-of-a-kind and that you can’t find anywhere else again! And like you, we also think about the ecological consequences of fashion, and wish for all unique, irreplicable pieces to to continue being appreciated and used in the world by others.
The shop is located on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, right between the Acoustic Music Shop and the K&K Foodliner, and near the Empress Bakery. We believe in the importance of small-businesses and supporting local economies. We are committed to developing our community; clothing that does not sell in the store is donated (with permission) to local charities that make an immediate, positive impact on the lives of others.
The (Old*) Blog
*Which would lead one to think that there is “new” -possibly better- blog…but there isn’t. But, hey, you can sign up for our Super Secret Newsletter [here] if you enjoy first dibs on specials and advanced-info on events that you can use to impress your friends! All newsletter will have endured the maximum amount of procrastination possible before finally being written with love from Yannick!
My name is Yannick and I own Red Pony with my spouse, Rod. Rod also owns the Acoustic Music Shop and together we have two young children. I am originally from Belgium and I love to knit. On the blog I love talking about local designers, independent Canadian brands, hand-made goods and sustainability-focused approaches to fashion. I get really excited about clothes with historical references, futuristic inspiration, asymmetry -but also symmetry!- , busy vintage patterns and also geometric minimalism. I love it all! I love everything we have in the shop, and I love sharing it with you on the blog!
