Privately held Rising Star™ began in Brooklyn, NY when the original owner started off by selling hats from a street cart; over time the company expanded, building a team of leaders from the footwear and hosiery industry who, in 2010, decided after much favorable feedback and requests from loyal customers, to offer more than just baby hats. Today the product line includes trend-right soft and hardsole footwear along children’s accessories and hosiery and of course hats. Fit, safety and style are hallmarks of the infant and toddler line; products undergo fit and quality tests to ensure they meet the demands of a growing child. Selections include kid’s hats, hat and mitten sets, kids’ cabbie caps, suspender, necktie and bow tie sets, crochet crown and diaper cover sets, moccasins, boy’s sneakers, child’s cowboy boots, boat shoes, mitten clips, snow boots, work boots, toddler footwear, girl’s bootie sets and more.
