Sustainability is in our DNA - Steel Pony

Sustainability is in our DNA

At Steel Pony we’re committed to sustainability and protecting the planet. That’s why we make our signature product, the sleevesinabag, from modal — a sustainable fabric that is friendly to both people and the environment. Let’s take a look at why modal fabric is so great for the environment, and how it helps us protect Mother Nature while still providing you with luxurious fashion accessories!


What is Modal?
Modal fabric comes from a type of rayon which is made from beech tree pulp. Beech trees are an incredibly renewable resource and grow quickly, meaning that they can be sustainably harvested for their wood pulp in order to create new fabrics. The process of making modal fabric does not involve any toxic chemicals or pollutants; it is simply spun into yarn and then woven into cloth. This makes it perfect for creating fashion items like our sleevesinabag without causing any harm to the environment.

The Benefits of Modal Fabric
Modal fabric has numerous benefits. It is extremely soft and comfortable, making it perfect for luxury fashion items like our sleevesinabag. It also has anti-bacterial properties which work to keep your skin fresh and healthy throughout the day. On top of this, it is highly durable and easy to care for — two more reasons why it's a great choice for anyone looking for sustainable yet stylish fashion accessories!

Local Manufacturing Reduces Carbon Footprint
At Steel Pony, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint as much as possible. That’s why we sew all of our products locally— so that we don’t have to ship them halfway around the world! We believe that by keeping production local, we can reduce emissions associated with transportation while still providing you with high-quality fashion accessories made from sustainable materials.

At Steel Pony, we are passionate about protecting the planet while also creating fashionable products that you can enjoy every day! We use modal fabric because it is both sustainable and luxurious — meaning that you get beautiful pieces without harming Mother Nature in any way. Plus, by sewing everything locally in Los Angeles, we reduce our carbon footprint even further! So if you're looking for beautiful yet sustainable fashion accessories, come check out what Sleevesinabag has to offer!
