Pack Your Pony - The Mane Scoop - From Fashion Passion to Founding Pack Your Pony

Issue 11: Koala-Fications - What Makes Your Koala-fied?

Meet Payton: Founder of Pack Your Pony and Fashion’s Adventurous Spirit

Hey there! I’m Payton, the mind (and “mean green fashun machine”) behind Pack Your Pony, where Aussie adventure meets fashion with a twist. Here’s a bit about my journey, and how I went from a fearless 12-year-old experimenting with knee-high striped socks and floral shorts to creating a brand that celebrates bold, adventurous style.

Growing up, I didn’t have access to online “trends”—I just followed my heart (and my love for quirky combos like matching backpacks and patterned shorts!). My style may have raised some eyebrows, but it sparked a lifelong love for fashion and self-expression.

Fashion became my true calling, so I dove in headfirst, earning a Bachelor of Design (Fashion) and gaining invaluable experience along the way. From managing high-end Australian retail stores to winning “Salesperson of the Year” at 21, I’ve worked hard to build my skills and refine my eye for style. In early 2023, I had the wild opportunity to appear on a TV show, and by mid-2023, I launched Pack Your Pony to bring my vision to life.

Pack Your Pony is more than just a brand—it’s a celebration of Australian spirit, freedom, and adventure. So, strap in, and join me on this wild ride as we bring a dash of daring fashion to every Aussie journey.
