Oscha
Oscha Slings was the first woven sling company established in the United Kingdom, and all their utterly beautiful designs are still woven in the British Isles and created in their workshop in Scotland. Founded by father-and-daughter team Zoe and Mike Masters, the company puts art and design as their priority, creates wraps made from responsibly sourced yarns, and stock woven wraps, ring slings and soft structured carriers – all developed with optimum positioning in mind. Stand out from the festival crowd with one of their original and beautiful prints; we love their new Rei Regenbogen range which will bring a rainbow to the muddiest of fields!
Amawrap
Amawraps are simple and easy. One size fits all, there are no buckles or buttons to stress about, and you can carry children up to 15kg comfortably. The soft-and-stretchy, 100% cotton carriers come in a huge range of colours – buy a couple to mix things up (there’s a ten pound discount on double orders). The company was born after founder, Shabs, had an emergency caesarian and struggled to breastfeed, so she bought some fabric, popped baby Anara inside, and never looked back! The company will dispatch your sling on the same day for free, so you’ll even cover last-minute festival adventures!
Firespiral
Firespiral’s gorgeous, woven wrap slings look great on a big-top dancefloor, hold their own in front of a band, and are heavenly to wear as you sit around a camp fire. The company is inspired by socialist principles, and all their slings are designed in-house, made by local businesses, and created from yarns produced ethically – so you can be assured that, as well as your baby being snug, happy and close at all times, you’re also not compromising your beliefs. With a huge range of sizes, fabrics, designs and colours, you’ll be sure to find a wrap that’s perfect for you.
Sleepy Nico
Comfort is paramount at festivals – when you’re jigging about, standing watching bands and on your feet all day, you need something you know is going to feel as good at the end of the night as it did first thing. Super comfy for kids and parents alike, Sleepy Nico carriers are simple, high quality, and come in a range of eye-catching designs. Their cord carriers are super-cosy, and the starry Elias print is perfect for nights under canvas.
Didymos
Didymos have been making woven wraps since 1972, and they’re very, very good at it. Great for carrying all children, these carriers will keep even toddlers close and safe. Their designs range from super-cute heart prints to the super-stylish Metro Tussah design; great for one-day, urban festivals. Have a sneak around their website for more goodies – we’re totally in love with their doll slings for little babywearers!
