The Girasol Woven Wrap - a wonderful alternative or addition to a sling, stretchy wrap or buckle carrier! Girasol Woven Wraps are hand-woven and much loved around the world.
Hardly any other carrier is as versatile as a woven wrap: with different tying methods, it can be used from birth to toddler age and always optimally adapted to the changing needs of the sling and the wearer.
Admittedly: It does take a little more practice to tie a woven wrap comfortably and quickly compared to other carrier types. But it's not as hard as you may think and if you keep at it, you will be rewarded with a unique and comfortable wearing experience!
In front of the belly, on the hip, on the back, with different centres of gravity and weight shifting, with further uses as a blanket, pad, baby hammock and swing - a woven wrap is comfortable, practical and fun.
All weaves of Girasol Wraps have wonderful sling properties due to their diagonal elasticity. The centre of the sling is marked with a sewn-in tag, the ends are bevelled and edges are comfortably double-stitched.
Keen to try? You can rent a wrap from us or your local babywearing library before you buy. Or buy your wrap and book a lesson with one of our babywearing consultants in person or over Zoom.
About Girasol Wraps, Slings and Carriers:
All Girasol products, whether the MySol® and WrapMysol carriers or wraps and ring slings, are 100% handmade. This begins with the dyeing of the yarns, continues with the weaving of the fabrics and ends with the tailoring of the carriers. Our baby carriers were developed in cooperation with babywearing advisors and our tailors use a specially developed pattern.
Girasol has worked with small cooperatives and handicraft enterprises in Guatemala for decades. This gives us handmade products of outstanding quality, and on the other hand, regular and continuous orders enable many families to earn an income and improve their quality of life.
Weaving on traditional hand looms is also traditionally anchored in the Mayan culture and we are lucky to be able to rely on such great expertise and craftsmanship of our staff.
Hand-woven baby slings are very popular all over the world, as the quality of the carrying items is simply convincing in everyday use, both in application and in fabric quality.
