Located in the quiet community of Vancouver, Washington, Second Star Designs is a small business owned and operated by a family with large dreams.  Created in 2006 and inspired by Princesses of all ages, each treasure found within this site is designed with beauty and comfort in mind.  Using a variety of colors and textures, each item is carefully hand-crafted with attention to quality and detail; creating collections that are timeless and without a specific season.  The fashions found in our children's department have no hard rules - many of the garments can be worn year-round by simply adding a t-shirt and leggings in the cooler months.

With all the hub-bub circulating the internet, mainstream media, and social networking sites concerning organic products, supporting small businesses over Big Box stores, preserving our environment, protecting our children, the use of renewable resources, and generally trying to create a better world for our future generations, we'd like for you to know that Second Star Designs supports all of those endeavors ... and then some.

As an active member of the Handmade Toy Alliance, we've fought to keep lead and other dangerous substances out of our children's products, while helping to create a level playing field designed to protect America's small businesses and artisans from large corporations who have taken steps designed to drive small businesses out of business.

Our products are individually hand-crafted, with strict attention given to both quality and detail. We want our customers to be happy with their Treasures ... enough to pass them along to future generations. The only way for us to accomplish that is through careful consideration of our suppliers and sourcing of our materials. Where ever possible, we purchase organic fabrics manufactured from sustainable resources; we take steps to reduce our overall footprint by using innovative ways to turn discarded clothing items into wearable art.

As a small business, we support other businesses and artisans like ourselves through the direct purchase of our supplies and materials. The majority of our fabrics are supplied by small stores, located across the country; our trims and yarns and other amazing things come from artisans just like us; our sales are either directly to the customer or available in a local boutique.
We will sell out of a product ... before we Sell Out to a large corporation.

Our Philosophy is simple: when it's time to leave, make sure that what you leave behind is better than what you originally found.
