North Star Trading Company, our company, came to life in 1978. Our very first
product was a four piece triangle hat which we were very proud of. We purchased
our
first
industrial sewing machine and we were on our way. Neither partner had any sewing
experience whatsoever, but by trial and error we started making footwear. Its
taken many years to perfect our patterns, our original indoor slipper has now
been joined by three different oudoor sole varieties. Because of our space
limitations at the Market, we often try to discontinue a style, but our customers
seem to need all the options, so four styles it is!
We're a small family owned business on Whidbey Island in Washington State and
we've sold our wares at the Pike Place Market in Seattle since 1978. You can
see our slippers there every day The craft line at the market works on seniority.
There is a daily rollcall, and those vendors not there to choose a spot, do
not sell that day. The products for sale must be hand crafted, and the owner
must be there once a week, to meet the public.. People from all over the world
visit Pike Place Market Our slippers have gone all over the world, including
Australia, Europe and Russia. If you visit Seattle stop by and say hi to our
two hansome young agents, Nick and Peter. We have always guaranteed the workmanship
in everything we produce. That is the reason that our customers keep coming
back!
Wool makes the best footwear. it has so many great
properties. It insulates and absorbs moisture while keeping you
warm and dry. It is water resistant and requires little care. When
the outside becomes wet the inside will remain
cosy. Just remember to let them dry at room temperature. To freshen
them up, sprinkle cornstarch inside. This product can also be used
to remove grease spots from sheepskin footwear. Just sprinkle on,
allow to absorb and brush off.
We use only finest grade skins - They arrive in sixty skin bales. They
are first checked for flaws and then we cut out the designs using
our own patterns. The thinnest part of the sheep skin, around the belly is
disgarded. Once the pieces have been cut, each seam is shaved. this makes
for a clean seam. We have designed our footwear to have more room in the
toe, a common problem with our competitors products. Three of our slipper
syles can be worn outside, great for walking the dog or taking out the trash.140.
Our Snugg house slipper has a double soft sole of bark sheep skin on the
inside (extra thick) and a sturdy leather sole. Because of the natural resiliance
of sheeps wool, air is able to circulate and your feet stay dry in sheep
skin. as moisture is wicked away.
A range of qualities of Sheep skin are available . Because of
huge
growth
of
sales of sheep skin footwear worldwide, there are many cheaper knockoffs available,
using second grade sheep skin, inferior soles and poor workmanship. Be assured
of
premium sheep skin and excellent workmanship on any North Star product.
