Well, trying to keep that Olympic torch burning… we here at Shailie are excited to announce that we too won gold! The Shailie Starter won Oppenheim Toy Portfolios Gold Seal, Best Toy Award.

As a mom, I have always trusted Oppenheim for toy selections for my children, and they have never steered my wrong. I saw Stephanie Oppenheim on the TODAY SHOW several years ago, when my oldest son was just a toddler. I was so impressed with her and thought the Oppenheim site would be a good place to help me find toys for my children.
After I came up with the idea for Shailie, my mom joined me soon after and we began designing. From the begining I felt like our toy would be such a great fit at FAO Schwarz… then a year later, our first store we sold in was FAO Schwarz! All along I have thought wouldn’t it be amazing to win Oppenheim’s Toy Awards? So – we submitted Shailie, thinking we should win, (obviously we are passionate about this toy and think it should always win!) and we found out Friday afternoon, we won Oppenheims Gold Seal Best Toy, and are up for Platinum later this year.
It is really such an honor to be awarded from Oppenheim, as I know their selections are only for the best of the best. It has been a great week here at Style Paige, keep designing!
