Show Pony

Last night, Bonnie Matthews, designer behind children’s label, Blu Pony Vintage, revealed a custom-made, heirloom gown sewn from 1920s French lace in the treasure chest of a boutique that is H.P.F, Christopher, in the West Village. The designer describes the dress as a perfect representation of her brand, and a tribute to the inspiration that pushed her to start Blu Pony Vintage in the first place. The delicate frock is available for pre-order exclusively from H.P.F, Christopher. 

Also on view was another of Blu Pony Vintage’s heirloom creations: A vintage French lace gown that can be hand monogrammed with a child’s name, age and year of birth. This white lacy confection is available in sizes 2 to 8, and wholesales for $180. Matthews notes that both precious pieces are meant to preserve childhood memories. The delicate dresses shown alongside glistening jewelry and extravagant home goods made for a charming evening, perfect for escaping the rain and chill outside.
