About Sarah's Silks
The story of our toy-making business is a deeply personal one for
us. Our oldest son Josh was in need of many dress-up options as
he loved to play pretend. He required lots of pieces of beautifully
colored, non-itchy fabric for his games. We found that the options
in toy stores were limited and so we began to dye our own silk
squares for him to play with, eventually bringing them to market.
For 15 years, we have been offering a wide selection of natural
fiber dress-ups and toys to stores all over the world and, ultimately,
providing families like ours with beautiful, creative toys.
We chose silk as it is a natural fiber and renewable resource. Silk is
an ancient product of China. Our silks are hand-hemmed in a small
village near Shanghai which we have visited. The seamstresses
are in their homes, often sitting in doorways, as their
children play nearby. In addition, many of our products
are sewn, ironed and packaged by women working
in their homes in Sonoma County, CA. Our
dyes are non-toxic and the silks are easily
hand-washed.
At Sarah’s Silks, we are dedicated to helping
create a better world through imaginative play.
We believe that simple, open-ended toys are
best for growing minds. Developing inner
creativity at a young age leads to higher levels of
creative thinking in adulthood. When children’s
inner creative life is nurtured, they grow into more
well-rounded, stronger, and creative contributing
members of our society, eager to bring their
gifts to the world. We are dedicated to simple,
unique and beautiful toys for all of the children
of the world. Through our work, we are
reminded of the infinite possibilities of play.
We offer quality playsilks, toys and dress-ups
for boys and girls between the ages of 3-10,
that ignite the imagination, and capture
the magical soul that lives in
young children.
