Pretty Sling

[lmariana]

Okay ladies, I'm in the shopping mood. Can you recommend some "pretty" ring slings? I have a Sleeping Baby Sling that I love, and I'd totally get a silk one from her, but it looks like she's taking a break right now.

I'm staying away from brocades these days. Thanks!

No advice , but I wanted to say that I'm glad you like the ring sling. When I recommend things to people I am always worried that they'll end up hating something I love.

Hi Mariana,

Jan's shoulder is so comfy and her prices are awesome. Here are some choices:

zolowear slings. They have some new cotton ones that are lovely. People either seem to love or hate the shoulder but if you learn how to spread it so that it cups your shoulder I find it pretty comfortable. I have 3 and love them.

oopa slings. Gorgeous and she has some fabulous new colors and it is incredibly comfy. I have the chocolate brown silk lined in asian. It is gorgeous.

Sachi Slings
Lisa has ready made slings but will do custom silk slings and her work is gorgeous.

Soul Baby Slings
I just ordered my first one I haven't received it yet but they look gorgeous and are getting rave reviews over at the babywearer website.

These are the ones I could think of right off the top of my head. Also I see Jan's silk slings come up in the for sale and trade forum on the babywearer. You can put a ISO for a silk Sleeping baby productions sling and see what you get.

HTH,

I agree about SoulBabyNYC...her slings are beautiful.

Also, HappySlings- Jessica has a lot of really nice fabrics, you're sure to find one you like. I think it's Happyslings.com
