    Winter Playday at the Soft Star Workshop

    It’s play time again! Twice a year, the Soft Star elves set aside an afternoon for a playday.

    Soft Star is proud to announce that we sold enough Playful Pancake cat toys in 2012 to donate 7 milking goats to hungry families in Sudan!

    It’s a busy season in the Soft Star workshop. All of our shoemaking elves are working extra hard to stay on top of holiday orders. Those toy-making elves up north may think they’re the only busy ones this time of year, but we could give them a run for their money. And if you’re still […]

    Gifts for Her this Holiday Season - Fitting Tassels

    It may be hard to believe, but some people say our shoes are not super swanky. While it is true we don’t compete with Gucci or Prada, we do harbor a covert fashionista among our ranks who has been working on a new product. Elf Sarah, always dressed to the nines, spent a long time […]
