Common People’s new collection
The most anticipated collection launch is finally here! Common People has just released a striking new collection brilliantly named ‘Brakes Off’. Jodie Calder, Founder, and Designer curated the most beautiful collection for those who have the desire to let loose and take a load off their shoulders. The collection consists of structured totes, briefcases, saddlebags, belt bags, cross-body bags, and silk scarves that uses bold and solid colours with a running theme of cobalt blues. In the classic Common People style, the use of contrasting materials such as leather, acrylic chains, and thick nylon straps is apparent more than ever.

Continuing on from previous Deadly Ponies Bespoke Black Friday exclusives – this year’s offering sees two core Deadly Ponies styles, the Cub Chain and Mr Robin, plus an exclusive Black Friday bone key charm, crafted in black leather and finished in all black hardware.
