Why Made-to-Order is the Future of Sustainable Fashion at Her Pony

Fast fashion refers to the rapid production of cheap, trendy clothing that moves quickly from the runway to store shelves. While it allows people to access the latest styles at low prices, it often comes at a significant cost. The fast fashion industry is notorious for its environmental harm, poor labor conditions, and the throwaway culture it promotes. Garments are made to be worn for a short time, then quickly discarded, contributing to waste and pollution.

At Her Pony, we’ve been against fast fashion from day one. We believe in a more thoughtful approach, which is why we are dedicated to slow fashion. This means creating timeless, high-quality pieces that are made to last, using sustainable materials and ethical production methods. Our goal is to foster a deeper connection between people and the clothing they wear, encouraging a more conscious and responsible way of consuming fashion. We’re proud to be part of the movement that values craftsmanship, durability, and sustainability over fleeting trends.

Our made-to-order service is designed to reduce waste and help you create a timeless wardrobe with pieces that are crafted to last.

WHAT IS MADE-TO-ORDER?

Made-to-order fashion means each piece is crafted just for you after you place your order. Unlike mass-produced clothing made in large quantities without considering demand, made-to-order ensures every garment is created with care and intention. Plus, we offer customization options—whether it’s adjusting the length, sizing, or incorporating your own ideas. This approach not only reduces waste but also lets you create a unique piece that fits perfectly, supporting a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry.


WHY CHOOSE MADE-TO-ORDER?

1. Sustainable and Ethical. Fast fashion can leave piles of unsold clothes in landfills—yikes! With our made-to-order pieces, you’re helping fight this waste problem. We only make what you order, so there’s no extra clutter. Plus, we use eco-friendly materials like sustainable rayon, so you can own the dance floor while keeping it green and gorgeous!

2. Support for Artisans. Our Bali Hub is the heart of Her Pony, where skilled artisans handcraft each garment with love and precision. These talented individuals are paid fairly and work in a supportive environment. By opting for made-to-order, you’re directly supporting their craft and community, ensuring that each piece is made ethically and with care​​.

3. Uniquely You. Every made-to-order piece can be tailored to your preferences, from size to colour and style. Just send us a message and we'll confirm if it's possible​​.

WHAT’S THE DEAL?


In this new era for Her Pony, our future beaded and sequin items will be made exclusively to order. To avoid creating excess stock, we're transitioning to a more conscious production approach. Making items on demand aligns with our commitment to sustainability and mindful manufacturing.

Our new vision means fewer Her Pony pieces will be circulating at festivals, allowing our beautiful customers to stand out and feel even more special. This approach also enables us to tailor sizes and offer customization upon request.

PLANNING IS KEY


You will need to be a bit more organised with your outfit planning as we need 4-6 weeks to make your design (we are working on reducing this in the coming months as we work on our processes). We are also developing a fully custom-made service, where we will collaborate with you to bring your dream creations to life.

QUESTONS OR IDEAS?


As we implement these new changes and sustainable vision, we warmly welcome ideas and suggestions from our beautiful honeys. We truly appreciate your support. If there’s anything you’d like to see from us, please feel free to email us at contact@herpony.com.au or DM us at @herponythelabel.
