The Jewelled SilkTM Sling

The crème-de-la-crème, the truly extraordinary, this is the world's most exclusive baby sling! (And yes, you deserve it, after that hard labour!)
This is for the really fancy-schmancy outings with your little one in arms, and is what we like to refer to as "part ballgown, part baby-carrier." This is the one that celebrity slingers prefer! Introduced in the spring of 2003, we were the first sling-maker anywhere in the world to offer luxury, hand-beaded silk slings that are to be treated as much as a piece of jewellery as baby gear. Other sling-makers out there have tried to imitate it since, but won't easily duplicate it! This is the original hand-beaded, jewelled sling.
We start off with our usual, high-quality, 100% silk dupioni in a brilliant, shimmery solid colour, and then line it with a second lovely layer of dupioni, for contrast. This light silk is the ultimate in comfort, yet still strong enough to tote around a 30-lb./14-kg. toddler. Now, here's where we set ourselves apart: We hand-bead a panel on top of the shoulder with semi-precious crystals and stones in one of three gorgeous designs. The stones catch light in a certain way, and all of a sudden, all eyes are upon you. (We've had strangers get up from their dinner table across a restaurant just to come compliment us with this one on!)
These slings are completely custom-ordered, and no two are exactly alike! You choose:
Prices vary, from $300 to $700 CAD (told you it was luxury!).
Because of the highly customisable nature of this item, most will be ordered directly from our on-line store, although some retailers can special-order this in for you. Please for a price quote on your sling project, or to find participating retailers.
