40 Years of Style, Reimagined as Play.

Steel Pony began as the creative collaboration of Joanne Litz and Dennis Wolk—a husband-and-wife duo blending fashion, artistry, and intention. Joanne, a seasoned designer and Reiki Master, leads the clothing collections with a soulful approach to design, while Dennis brings his background in visual merchandising to life through specialty dyeing techniques and artisan handbags.

Since launching in 1992 with a focus on eco-friendly fabrics and small-batch production, they’ve remained committed to creating with care—for people and the planet.

What started as a beloved boutique in Philadelphia’s Fabric District has since evolved into a full lifestyle brand, expanding beyond wearable art into journals, meditation tools, and creative courses.

Steel Pony will always be my roots. For four decades, I’ve clothed your body; now, I’m inviting you to play with me. Threads4Healing is the "fun" side of resilience—using the tools of my trade to create a sanctuary of calm and a spark of wonder in your daily life.

Our Manifesto of Joy

  • Slowness as a Treat: In a fast-paced world, we choose the rhythmic, happy pace of the hand-stitch.

  • Softness as a Hug: We useModal and knit cotton because what touches your skin should feel like a celebration.

  • Creativity as a Birthright: You were born to make. We’re just here to provide the playground.

Nice Blue

Fits me, and I can wear it now for layering, and in the warmer weather alone. i really like the design @ the bottom. The material washes nicely too.

Flattering

This was a nice addition to my wardrobe. However, since I have gained a couple pounds I wish it was available in a Large. I like the fabric texture and how I am able to layer tops with it and I like the longer length too.

The printing on this top is just exquisite. So many shapes and contrasts in the dying pattern created by this method. And the fit is perfect. Plus it “coordinates” with a headband Joanne created a couple years ago. Today it is just warm enough in Atlanta for me to wear with no extra layers!

This is my second Ava sweater vest. The tasseled ends on first one in gray were a bit too long for me, so Joanne shortened this one before dying it deep teal. My Russian seamstress ended up shortening the gray one, and made a scarf/headband out of the cut-off material!

I'm short and round so often clothes shown on tall models don't look right on me...I look like a little girl trying on mommy's dresses. This tunic fits like a dress that hits a little above the knee in the front with drop sides. The flare of the hem gives it a happy look and feel. The cranberry color is gorgeous. I was told it is cute on me and it looks like the Renaissance!
